Field notes
The homepage builds its account around Nikulás Arent Peder Buch, whom it says arrived from Norway in 1777, stayed in Iceland, and taught Húsavík residents to make and use skis. It presents the 2027 gathering as a meeting point for local history, family activities, and links between Húsavík and Hammerfest. The organizers describe a broad event outline, but say the detailed programme and support options will be announced later.
