Stunning views will be given by the unique water body Lake Myvatn. It is located in the heart of the Naumafjall volcanic region, which is characterized by the presence of a huge number of bubbling craters, lava deposits and incredible landscapes. It is here that you can touch the most ancient rocks that appeared many millions of years ago. Mounds of ancient Vikings were found near the lake. Archaeologists have found here elements of clothing and weapons, as well as jewelry and skeletons. Today they are placed in the hall of one of the Husavik museums.

It hosts various exhibitions and themed events. The main part of the exposition is made up of artifacts on the history and nature of these places. Here is the main library.
Another unique museum belongs to Ethnography. In its halls there is a collection of old household items that were used by the inhabitants of Northern Iceland. The atmosphere in the halls authentically recreates the dwellings of the indigenous population, so there is a feeling of being in a completely different era.
You should definitely visit the Whale Museum, founded at the end of the last century.
His collection will tell unimaginable facts from the life of these graceful inhabitants of the underwater depths, as well as some other large mammals. In one of the halls of the museum there is even a real whale skeleton, which staggers the imagination with its scale.
Along with viewing the expositions, you can watch a documentary, as well as chat with volunteers who are followers of the cause of Asbjon Bjorgvinsson, the famous opponent of whaling.
