The annual biking festival begins today and ends on Sunday with various races and events.

From the opening of a new bridge inaugurated in the beginning of July. This bridge is a part of an outdoor recreational area of the delta of the river Eyjafjarðará which is the main river in the valley of Eyjafjörður some 5 minutes’ drive outside town’s centre.

We do much appreciate the work of our gardening-team which is working hard in tidying and planting flowers around in town.

The harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) takes its name from a colourfully dressed character in Commedia dell'arte.

Great weather (+18°C) to clean the duck-pond and the surrounding area and to make the flowerbeds ready for the summer flowers.

The first arctic terns of the season were spotted in Grímsey yesterday.

The beauty of the springtime, courtship rituals, nest building, mating, nesting and the first eggs.

Sunny days, warm winds and the grass is turning green.

The sunrise is at approx 4.30 AM and sunset at 10.00 PM. This means 16.5 hours of daylight and 4 hours of twilight

The glow of the sunset and the soft twilight colors in the sky can be quite awesome - these paddlers took a tour on the fjord last night around 23.00.
