Sunday, June 5: Snæfellsnes Peninsula Sailing Tour
This morning we set off on a sailing tour out on Breidafjordur Bay.
The beautiful bay has numerous skerries with varied bird life and
whales. Our crew scoops up fresh scallops, sea urchins, crabs,
starfish and sea cucumbers for us to taste. This afternoon we explore
the north side of Snæfellsnes peninsula including an easy climb to
the top of Mt. Helgafell which gives us breathtaking views of the
surroundings and three wishes if we think good thoughts and don’t
look back on our way up. We visited a small fishing villages on the
north side and the Bjarnarhofn shark farm – the most famous shark
farm in Iceland. We learned how Icelandic fermented shark is prepared
and have a taste if you dare! We did and it was awful.
