National Geographic Endurance docked in the quaint village of Husavik, which is known as the whale-watching capital of Iceland. The trip to Lake Mytvan offered views of bubbling mudpots, interesting volcanic structures from an eruption long ago, and Godafoss, a famous and beautiful waterfall. Some guests chose a hike, others a trip to the Asbyrgi Canyon, and many took advantage of the geothermal activity at the GeoSpa. The naturalist team recommended a visit to the Husavik Whale Museum, which is small but mighty. A full skeleton of a blue whale is one of many displays. A myriad of exhibition rooms shares stories of whaling, the underwater world, and illustrations by the pioneer naturalist of Iceland, Jon the Learned.
