    CULTURE AND HISTORY

    VÍK

    The town of Vík has always been a center for trade and tourism on the south coast of Iceland

     

    BRYDEBÚÐ

    Brydebúð has a long and rich history as the first permanent building erected on the Víkursandi beach.

    SKAFTFELLINGUR

    The trading vessel Skaftfellingur is preserved in the Skaftfellingur museum, opposite Kötlusetur.

    HALLDÓRSBÚÐ

    The Halldórsbúð store, built in 1903, was run by Hálldór Jónsson, farmer in Suður-Vík.

     

    KATLA AND MÝRDALSJÖKULL

    Kötlusetur is named after the Katla volcano, located beneath the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Her mood is being constantly monitored through seismographs

     

    FOLK STORIES OF VÍK

    Vík has a lot of stories to tell! In 2015, Kötlusetur and VisitVík published an English-language coloring book, entitled simply Folk Stories of Vík.
