Interesting places and scenery near Fosshotel Húsavík, North Iceland

Whale watching and the GeoSea

The quaint fishing village of Húsavík, with a population of 2,200 and situated along the coast of Skjálfandi Bay, offers premier whale-watching opportunities in Iceland. This bay, teeming with plankton, draws approximately 24 whale species, including well-known ones like the orca (killer whale), humpback whale, minke whale, and blue whale. Experiencing these magnificent creatures in Iceland, often called the land of the midnight sun, is truly unforgettable. Additionally, a visit to the Húsavík GeoSea offers a unique experience. As you soak in the warm, steamy waters, you're treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and ocean.

Dettifoss - Europe’s largest waterfall

A standout feature of the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon is the majestic waterfall Dettifoss, boasting a formidable 44-meter drop and a powerful flow that's visible from kilometers away – watch out for the mist clouds it creates. Remarkable in all seasons, Dettifoss's true might is best witnessed in the spring, following the seasonal thaw. If this iconic cascade feels familiar, it's likely because it appeared in the opening scene of Ridley Scott's 2012 prequel to Aliens, "Prometheus."

The Ásbyrgi canyon

The vast, horseshoe-shaped Ásbyrgi canyon, encircled by towering cliffs and a verdant forest floor, ranks among Iceland's top trekking spots. Positioned at the northern gateway to the Jökulsárgljúfur river canyon, Ásbyrgi provides endless opportunities for captivating walks amidst a setting that's perfect for the enchanting tales associated with it. Norse mythology holds that the canyon's unique shape was formed by the hoof of Odin's eight-legged steed, whereas other tales designate Ásbyrgi as the home of the Huldufólk, or hidden people, commonly referred to as elves.
