The Icelandic Seal Center is part of the Arctic Coast Way (Norðurstrandaleið), which is Iceland’s new and northernmost tourist route. The route covers 900 km of the Nordic coastline, six peninsulas, and six islands.
The North Shore route turns its back on trodden paths and directs the tourist into the sparse and remote – to explore the north coast of Iceland in the immediate vicinity of the Arctic Circle. The North Shore route runs along the entire coastline, from Hvammstangi in the west to Bakkafjörður in the east.
