Isafjordur has a pleasant park at its heart which is great for wandering round in finer weather, and is filled with trees and recreation areas. The main point of interest in the park is a whalebone arch which is made from an actual whale’s jaw bones. This represents the history and importance of whaling in the town’s past, and part of the reason for its prosperity in this remote region of Iceland. The park is free to enter.
