If you want to see Puffins, and I mean lots of Puffins, then this is the perfect location. You can get to the island of Grimsey by plane or ferry. We had a wonderful few hours walking along the coast taking pictures. You can get quite close to the cliffs and there were 100s of Puffins to view and photograph. We got good results with our 400mm lens. (250mm x 1.6 crop) If you are lucky, you may also get to see whales just off the coastline. The flight is about 30mins from Akureyri. As the island is located on the Arctic Circle, you will also be able to get a certificate to prove that you have crossed the line.
3. Videy Island

Viðey Island - Peace, beauty, history An island, where art, history and nature lie just beyond the city shore. The combination of stunning views, historical ruins and contemporary art pieces make Viðey island something special. Just a short boat ride takes you to another world, to be explored in your own time. From nesting birds and panoramic views to Yoko Ono's famous 'Imagine Peace Tower' and Richard Serra's 'Milestones', you'll discover an oasis of peace, beauty and history. Close to shore, but a world away. Daily sailing during the summer but only on weekends during the wintertime. Viðey is part of Reykjavík City Museum: One museum in five unique places.

A short ferry ride from downtown Reykjavik but find another world on Videy. Easy trails, terrific views of Reykjavik and beaches and ocean too. Definitely worth the time but if you do not have a car, the bus lines do not run to the ferry dock in the winter. We walked from the closest bus stop (about 15 minutes) and were glad we did. The John Lennon Peace Memorial is also there - we went back at night to see it lit (separate review).
