Bolungarvík is a small fishing village (considered a small town by Icelandic standards) located in the Westfjords region. It lies on the shore of Bolungarvík Bay, where the Ísafjarðardjúp fjord meets the North Atlantic. Bolungarvík is surrounded by rugged mountains that offer picturesque scenery typical of this part of Iceland. You can drive almost to the top of one of these mountains, Bolafjall, to enjoy a unique perspective of the surroundings.
Bolungarvík also has cultural landmarks, such as the Ósvör Museum, which helps visitors understand the historical significance of fishing for Icelandic communities, and the Natural History Museum, where you can see exhibits like a polar bear (stuffed, of course).
