Westfjords Adventures
About This Museum
People come here not for dusty artifacts, but to get the real story on exploring Iceland's wildest corner. You walk in and immediately want to plan a dozen new trips, surrounded by maps and gear that feel like they've actually been used on epic journeys. The staff are genuine local experts who light up when sharing secret hot springs or the best way to spot arctic foxes. It’s less a museum and more a lively, inspiring portal into the raw beauty of the Westfjords.
Collection Highlights
Hand-drawn maps of remote hiking trails, a well-loved kayak suspended from the ceiling, and a fascinating wall dedicated to the region's unpredictable weather patterns.
