This book was years in the making and is our attempt to show Grímsey – this little-known gem to the world. The island of Grímsey has a special place in our hearts. Located at the arctic circle it is teeming with birdlife and has been a source of amazing adventures for us through the years. Gyða grew up in Grímsey and most of her family lives there. This book is therefore in a way made in Grímsey.
If you plan to visit Grímsey this is the book for you. Showing what it has to offer in a book is no easy task, but we sure did our best to take the reader on a visual and informative journey.
We also hope visitors to this remote island will find the book worthy to bring home as a reminder of their visit.
