Klettsvík is a stunning bay located in Vestmannaeyjar, which gained worldwide recognition in 1999 when the famous killer whale Keiko was transported there. The bay is enclosed by towering cliffs, and it is shielded by three mountains: Heimaklettur, Miðklettur, and Ystiklettur.
The area is rich in marine life, and visitors can expect to see a variety of seabirds, such as puffins, flying above the water. The bay is also a popular spot for small boats to gather and witness the local marine life, as well as to explore the beautiful cave Klettshellir with its unique colors. Recently, Klettsvík has become home to two beluga whales that were brought over from China in a project led by SeaLife Trust. With its stunning scenery and vibrant marine life, Klettsvík is a must-visit location for anyone who loves nature and adventure.
