What to expect
Visit the Icelandic Seal Center, a non-profit company dedicated to seal research and sustainable seal watching tourism. Located in Hvammstangi, midway between Reykjavik and Akureyri, the center offers a unique opportunity to learn about Iceland's endangered harbor seals and vulnerable grey seals.
Explore the museum's exhibits, which include old items, stuffed animals, and a documentary from the early years of the Icelandic Seal Center. Discover the travels of a young grey seal pup named Snorri through an interactive screen.
Learn about the walrus in a special exhibition created in cooperation with the Icelandic Museum of Natural History. The museum is small, and the average guest spends about 20 minutes, but you can spend a few hours going through all the information if you wish.

All the text in the museum is in Icelandic and English, with 90% also in German. There are also folders with a large part of the text in French and Spanish.
