Husavík means "the bay of houses," as legend says it was settled before the official settlement date of 874 AD.
Gardar Svavarsson was a Swede who wintered in Iceland in 870 AD. According to legend and sagas, he left behind a man named Nattfari and two slaves to cultivate a farm here.

Húsavík Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Husavik is good for whale watching, but certainly not a recommended terrain for cycling!

Húsavík Whale Museum

Highlight • Monument

The museum, founded in 1997, aims to inform the public about the life of whales. Well worth a visit and very informative. For opening times and prices, see here: hvalasafn.is
