Iceland's "Husavík" of Northern Europe – a town of whales
Iceland is a magical place, in every city, in every small place there will be a different harvest. Just as when you look at this landscape, you will fall into immaculate contemplation of all that the city has to offer you. This time the destination is the small town of Husavik, you may be curious about this town, how exactly did it impress you? Yes, this town is Whale Island, where you can go out to sea to see whales and even go to the Whale Museum, and then you will go to this whale town with me to have a look, and perhaps, here you will find different secrets.
I. The Legend of the Whale
In the circle of the Arctic, what you see is either the dark sun that will never fall, or the polar night that never stops changing, and everything here has long been freed from too many shackles, too many shackles, too many awkward mouths... If you want to get rid of most of the world, I think you must go to Iceland and tell the whales of Husavik. Legend has it that the whale is the messenger of the human world, and it communicates not only your connection with the sea, but also your connection with the sky. Tell them about the things you are bothering about. In this way, they will bring these troubles into the sea, and there will be too much helplessness to precipitate. Or set off a mighty wave and bring it to the goddess Aurora, who will create for you a piece of the Aurora Borealis that belongs only to you. Well, when you leave Iceland, all the worldly troubles will be freed, just give yourself a new chance, and then you will get a lot of things.
2. Whale watching tour
It must be mentioned that the town of Husavik is really beautiful. It is recognized as one of the top three whale watching sites in the world. Just this part of the pier makes people feel very full inside. I took a boat ride on the dock and my heart was always full of joy. The boat slowly sailed toward the ocean. I have checked the strategy in advance, saying that the probability of going out to sea to see whales this season is relatively low. But we are always full of anticipation, eager to see these whales. The boat kept moving forward, and there was a constant cool sea breeze blowing, even if the cool blowing on the face hit people, even if they felt a little discouraged. Somehow, there is always a hunch that whales will be seen today.
After more than two hours of sailing, the companions who were all ready to go with cameras were a little discouraged. After all, such a scene is always a bit disappointing. But in the moment of disappointment, suddenly a companion exclaimed "look quickly". Qi Brush's eyes drifted to the surface of the sea, and sure enough, there were whales. At first only a small part of the visible, then a large flock, and then the whales jumped up and jumped out of the sea. Sometimes the water column can be seen, and you don't have to guess that they are playing with us and playing hide-and-seek. From time to time, these whales jump up to the surface of the sea, causing everyone to involuntarily exclaim. Can't I tell them their names, is it a killer whale, a humpback whale or a blue whale? These are indeed indistinguishable, but even so, they bring us a joy and do not waste our time to go out to sea for a cruise.
Watching these whales unconsciously confide in their troubles, hoping that they will bring our troubles to the bottom of the sea or tell the goddess Aurora. I guess they will not fail to live up to my trust, and feel that today's whale watching activities are not in vain.
III. Whale Museum
That's right, how can you come to the small town of Husavik and not go to the Whale Museum to have a look. Because going out to sea today to watch whales really makes people feel a kind of joy. So, returning to the town, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, naturally could not suppress the joy of going to the Whale Museum.
This museum is definitely relatively rare, even though there are many museums, but most of them are about terrestrial life, and very little about marine life. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to come to Iceland, to see whales, and to the Whale Museum.
First, he took a picture of the huge whale wall in the vicinity and entered the exhibition hall. I have to say that this whale museum still has a clean inside. It's not huge, but it can be said to be particularly chic. The exhibits on display are also carefully arranged. Whether it is a picture or a skeleton, it is a clear introduction to the story of these whales. Even these skeletons are preserved here intact, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't see. In fact, you should take a look at the whales before you see them, not later, because after this detailed introduction, you will be able to recognize what types of whales you just saw. However, looking at it later, you can also learn something.
Watching these dazzling skeletons fall into the air, even the most surprising thing is that there is the skeleton of a humpback whale here, which is the only one in the world. As you may not know, there is a beautiful saying about whales, that is, every whale sinks into the sea after death to feed other marine life. Therefore, the complete skeleton of such a huge humpback whale is actually displayed here, and you will feel very shocked. Looking at these skeleton structures, standing on one side, you will feel that you are unusually small, compared to their huge bodies, humans are so small. There is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun. The size of the carp is unknown to thousands of miles, so the largest whale in the world is the whale. Of course, in addition to the skeletons of these whales, there are some other marine animals in this whale museum. In short, if you are lucky enough to come here, you must visit this whale museum to have a look, there are always unexpected surprises.
When I came out of the museum, I felt that I had gained a lot and learned a little about the world's largest animals. Walking around this Small Town of Husavik, you will feel as if this town is a town specially designed for whales, whether it is the pier, the museum, or even some of the nearby areas are carved with whale paintings, everything here revolves around whales, full of happiness and tranquility. It naturally takes some time to get around the town, and it doesn't matter, there's still time, I have to enjoy my trip in Iceland slowly. Thanks also to Vic Town for letting me know about this biggest creature. Thanks to this whale watching activity, I had to settle my inner troubles, and it is estimated that the whales sank my troubles to the bottom of the sea together, or told the goddess Aurora. Thank you to them all in all.
