Cultural Heritage of the North

This collection highlights the diverse cultural history of Northeast Iceland, from the monumental Arctic Henge in Raufarhöfn—a modern stone structure inspired by Norse mythology—to Húsavík’s specialized museums. Discover the region’s maritime legacy through the Húsavík Whale Museum’s skeletal displays and the Exploration Museum’s tribute to Apollo astronaut training. The list also features local landmarks like the Swiss chalet-style Húsavíkurkirkja and the Kópasker Earthquake Centre, which documents the seismic history of the Tjörnes fracture zone.
