Isafjördur - local museum 5

Yes, there is more from the local history museum in Ísafjördur, Iceland.

Fishing is the main industry in the Westfjords, but there is more.


Guillemot eggs - They are being collected for consumption. People climb into the cliffs in the fjords to collect a small number of eggs from the nests. The birds instantly replace these eggs so the populations are not endangered.

Lummen Eier - Diese Eier werden für den Verzehr gesammelt. Menschen klettern in den Fjorden hoch in die Klippen hinein und nehmen eine kleine Zahl Eier aus manchen der Nester. Die Vögel ersetzen die Eier sofort wieder, sodass die Population nicht dezimiert wird.



Seal skin trunk and seal skin hanging on the wall. This is a historic exhibit. These items are not made anymore.

Seehundsfell-Koffer und Seehundsfell an der Wand. Diese Ausstellungsstücke sind historisch. Solche Gegenstände werden nicht mehr angefertigt.

This display of hooks looks just so nice and normal.
