Grímsey is a small Icelandic island, 40 kilometres off the north coast of the main island of Iceland, straddling the Arctic Circle. Home to less than one hundred people - and one million seabirds. The island stands alone far out on the horizon, a blue cliff, surrounded by the wide Arctic Ocean. The chorus of seabirds, never stops during the 24 hour long day - there is no night in Grimsey during the summer, not until late July when twilight begins to descend around midnight. - The birds nest in the high cliffs that surround the whole island, except by the harbour. Best time to view the Puffins is from the end of April till the beginning of August. There are no Puffins in Grímsey during winter. (Grímsey, Iceland)
