About Iceland

Iceland is a Nordic island country in the Atlantic Ocean, home to the most northerly capital city in the world, Reykjavik. Famed for its geysers, hot springs and active volcanoes, Iceland has one of the most spectacular natural landscapes on the planet. Not only that, the capital in the southwest boasts picturesque, colourful buildings and quirky cafes and bars. A trip to Iceland also gives visitors an excellent opportunity to gaze at the spellbinding Northern Lights during winter, or to camp by a lake under the midnight sun throughout summer. Mainland Europe is within easy reach from Iceland by ferry, with weekly sailings across the North Sea from Seydisfjordur on the east coast to Denmark.

About Flatey Island

Flatey is the largest of the Western Islands in northwest Iceland, believed to have formed during the ice age. Its name translates to ‘flat island’, which gives a clue to its landscape, and measures just 2 by 1 kilometres. The only road leads from the ferry terminal to the ‘old village’, a tiny settlement comprising beautifully coloured and restored houses of the island’s original inhabitants. Flatey also has a church, built in 1926, which sits next to the oldest and smallest library in the country. In terms of nature, Flatey’s green pastures are filled with sheep and the skies with numerous migratory birds including puffins, so it’s a great stop-off for birdwatchers, too. The ferry terminal lies just off the southern terminus of the island’s singular road. From there, you can sail to Brjanslaekur to the north and Stykkisholmur to the south on the mainland, with regular sailings provided every week.
