Hey, P.G! I actually flew here. That video might be a little misleading. I took that on the ferry from Árskógssandur to Hrísey. I do think cruise ships visit northern Iceland, though. I’ll bet it’s amazing.

A humpback #whale seems to be caught in fishing gear, east of #Hrísey. It could not be freed today due to weather, but rescuers hope to try tomorrow. “We’ve examined it but we see no signs of nets or lines,” says Freyr Antonsson, head of Arctic Sea Tours. Freyr filmed this video.

One year ago today I was on Hrísey Island in #Iceland. 🇮🇸

How I miss it… 🥲

#Photography #Scape #landscape #EastCoastKin

The island of Hrísey as seen from the approaching ferry. Colorful houses line the shore as the mainland’s majestic snowcapped mountains loom beyond.

A small cove with turquoise water and crashing waves lined by dark rocky cliffs topped with plant life of green, yellow, orange, and red.

A rocky shoreline with turquoise water and jagged outcroppings amongst the crashing waves. Beyond are the mountains of mainland Iceland.

A winding gravel path rolls through a landscape of red, orange, yellow, brown, and green. Ahead lies the fjord leading out to the Greenland Sea. A tiny lone figure clad in yellow stands at the far edge to take in the view.

Just over half of the residential houses in #Hrísey are holiday homes. Staffing service jobs in summer has been a challenge, and the island’s neighbourhood council wants to increase the number of full-time residents.
