Hvitanes Seal Colony
Hvitanes Seal Colony
Hvitanes is a seal colony on the west shore of Skotufjordur by the entrance to the fjord.
By the farm of the same name, there's a place where you can pull off the road and watch the seals hauled out on the offshore rocks or swimming in the fjord.
Seals are often remarkably curious, but visitors should not approach them as they may disturb their natural behavior.
The farmer at Hvitanes has thoughtfully provided binoculars for a loan so you can enjoy watching the seals without bothering them.
