Northern Iceland
Northern Iceland is a region known for its striking landscapes, including volcanic terrain, geothermal areas, and picturesque fjords. One of the highlights of this region is Húsavík, a small town located on the Skjálfandi Bay, famous for its whale watching opportunities. Húsavík is considered one of the best places in the world to see whales, particularly during the summer months. Visitors can take boat tours to observe humpback whales, orcas, and other species in their natural habitat. In addition to whale watching, Northern Iceland offers activities like hiking and geothermal baths.
