The Whale Museum has been visited this summer, as can be understood, but some visitors connect with the museum in a different and greater way than the traditional tourist.
Indeed, the Germans Elke Wald and Silke Ahlborn do, who visited the museum recently, when they spent a few days in Húsavík and its surroundings.
Both Elke and Silke worked at the Whale Museum since the turn of the century, Elke as a project manager under the executive management of Ásbjörn Björgvinsson, the founder of the Whale Museum, and Silke as a volunteer, in addition to which she later took on the role of guide on board the boats of Norðurisigling.

It was a pleasant reunion for Elke, Silke and Jan, but there is a great friendship between them from the past.
Go Iceland!
