If you're looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience in West Iceland, then be sure to visit the Bjarnarhöfn Shark Museum. This fascinating museum is dedicated to the traditional Icelandic practice of fermenting shark, a six month long process as well as why the Greenlandic shark played an important role in Icelandic history.

The Bjarnarhöfn Shark Museum is located in a beautiful coastal area in West Iceland. The museum is housed in an old fishing hut and features a range of exhibits and displays that showcase the tools, techniques, and traditions of Icelandic shark hunting.

One of the highlights of the museum is its collection of shark-related artifacts. This includes everything from old fishing equipment and boats to preserved shark specimens and traditional clothing worn by shark hunters. You can see the challenges and risks involved in this dangerous and difficult trade.

Those with strong stomachs can see the drying racks where Greenlandic shark is actively being fermented. But the real highlight of the museum is the chance to taste traditional Icelandic shark meat. This may not be for the faint of heart, as the meat is notoriously strong and pungent, but it's an experience you won't soon forget.
