Húsavík is a town aprox 1 hours drive from Akureyri. The town was the setting for the 2020 Netflix comedy "The Story of Fire Saga" — and the namesake for an Academy Award nomination 2021 for best original song “Husavik (My Hometown),” performed by Molly Sandén. Unfortunately it did not win, but the town is beautiful and should be on your bucket list for your next visit. Watching the movie and learning the song could be a nice preparation
