Grimsey Island

Iceland's Ring Road - Akureyri and Grímsey Island (Days 7-8)

In trying to figure out some activities for our two full days in Akureyri, we discovered that we could take a ferry to Grímsey Island, an island about 25 miles north of the mainland and the only part of Iceland officially (though just barely) within the Arctic Circle.
