Flatey Island
Once home to a small community, Flatey, or Flat Island, is now inhabited only during the summer, mostly by birds and those who love watching them. A sanctuary to at least 30 different species, it has a large population of cute puffins and swooping, scalp-pecking arctic terns. Gentle Giants and North Sailing offer tours to the island, which is 27.2 km (14.7 nautical miles) northwest of Húsavík in Skjálfandi Bay.
