In the spring the entrance was moved to a restored area in the eastern part of the museum which now hosts the tourist information centre for Húsavík, together with the museum´s store.

It is still quite early in the season but the museum’s researchers have already been out on the whale watching boats several times to collect data and take pictures of whales that have been sighted during the trips.

The Whale Watching room in the Húsavík Whale Museum is now under renovation

The Húsavík Whale Museum will be open every day from 10:00 to 14:00 until October 20th.

Visitor numbers in August 2009 surpass visitor numbers in August from the opening of the Whale Museum in 1997.

Visitors to the Whale Museum in August 2009 were 8.850 as compared to 5.900 in August 2008, giving an increase of 50%.

After a spell of bad weather the sun is shining in Húsavík again and a humbpack was seen in the bay this morning so things are looking quite good for the last part of the season.

23rd of June, earlier this summer, a team of researchers tagged a blue whale in Skjálfandi Bay, hoping to get more information on the travels of the species.

In June and July the Whale Museum received around 30% more visitors this year than during the same period last year.
