Although most tourists come to Húsavik on Skjálfanda Bay for the popular whale-watching tours, a visit to the wooden church, built in 1907, is still a must. The oldest piece in the church is the chandelier, dating from 1640. Other items, such as the altarpiece from 1931, are more recent.

It is worth going here. It makes you realize how small we are in this world. Am impressed by the size of the caldera.

Those who come to Húsavík want to go out on an election observation boat, visit the election museum or relax in the thermal waters of Geosea Baths.
