Tourist Information Center
The Tourist Information Center has been runned by the museum since springtime. Here you can get all informations you need before travelling to Strandir area.

The Icelandic Tourist Board held a meeting on 16 April 2010, whereupon it was decided to issue a press release stressing that day-to-day life in Iceland is just as usual, even though the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull glacier on the south coast of Iceland has made a profound impact and generated dangers in a specified area. In other parts of the country, Icelanders� daily life is proceeding quite normally. Even though the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull is relatively small, airborne volcanic ash has dispersed over a wide area and disrupted air travel in Europe.

It is the joint task of the aviation and tourism authorities in Europe to find ways to transport travellers to their destinations with absolute safety. It is the task of Iceland�s Civil Protection Department to ensure that the utmost safety measures are followed in Iceland, and to provide a constant flow of information to all parties that need it. Euro Control and the Volcanic Ash Center take decisions on air travel authorisations in Europe. Even if the eruption is prolonged � and its duration is impossible to predict � it is considered likely that volcanic ash formation will taper off once the preconditions for the mixture of water and embers no longer exist.

The Icelandic Tourist Board wishes to forewarn the public of exaggerated news reports on the eruption but encourages travellers to keep abreast of developments. Travellers currently in Iceland are safe and well-treated, and the appropriate parties are making every effort to make their stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Archaeological Excavations at Str�katangi in Hverav�k, Kaldrananeshreppi 2009
Field report

This is a report of the excavations at Str�katangi in Strandas�sla in 2009. Continuous excavations since 2005 have revealed extensive cultural remains dating from the settlement period to the 20th century.
Until now the focus at Str�katangi have been remains of a foreign whaling station from the 17th century. The station consists of four structures, three of them are clustered together and the fourth at some distance from the main cluster. The three structures that have been excavated from 2005 are tryworks, a large building with three rooms (habitation) and one smaller building (cooperage). The forth structure was excavated in 2009.

The analysis of the data is still in progress and it is understood that the reader will not publish any of the material contained herein without the permission of N�tt�rustofa Vestfjar�a, Strandagaldur ses and the authors.
