The Icelandic Phallological Museum
"Collecting penises is like collecting anything. You can never stop, you can never catch up, you can always get a new one, a better one." Fear not, these are not the words of some deranged, goolie-obsessed serial killer, but of Sigurður Hjartarson, founder of the Icelandic Phallological Museum. Now retired, Sigurður has been collecting penises throughout the entirety of his adult life, accepting donations from friends and slaughterhouses, harvesting roadkill and beached animals, and even recruiting his own family members to collect potential specimens.

I have been to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula once before, but never quite managed to venture to the small, yet picturesque town of Stykkishólmur, located on the region's northern edge. Two hours and fifteen minutes from Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavík, this was rectified last Saturday as I paid a visit to Kontiki Kayaking, a one man enterprise recently established by the town’s harbour.
