Beyond the notice of most passersby, hidden away are two former whaling ships, quietly waiting for rust and the ravages of time to complete their work. Apart from these abandoned vessels, this spot also offers a lovely view of Hvalfjörður. Why not take a short stop? If you’re heading to the Westfjords, there you can visit the preserved ship Garðar BA 64.
These former whaling ships are located just a few dozen meters off the Ring Road, but they are so well hidden that unless you know about them, you might just drive past. At this location (GPS: 64.394550, -21.435140), you can pull over briefly, and find the ships by following a small path towards the sea.
