In a few minutes Mark and I are headed to the small Akureyri airport where we will catch a 25-minute flight that leaves daily for the tiny island of Grímsey, which lies 40 km north of the mainland. We are staying overnight at a guesthouse, then are getting the ferry back to nearby Dalvík tomorrow afternoon. The ferry takes three and a half hours. Getting ready to explore the Grímsey cliffs, see the birds and experience the solitude.
