Overview
Reykjavik, on the coast of Iceland, is the country's capital and largest city. It's home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church and rotating Perlan glass dome offer sweeping views of the sea and nearby hills. Exemplifying the island’s volcanic activity is the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa, near the village of Grindavik.
Overview
Heimaey, literally Home Island, is an Icelandic island. At 13.4 square kilometres, it is the largest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago, and the largest and most populated island off the Icelandic coast.
Overview
Djupivogur is a small town and municipality located on a peninsula in the Austurland in eastern Iceland, near the island of papey and on the fjord Berufjorour.
Overview
The Breidafjordur is a vast shallow bay on the west coast of Iceland between the wilderness of the North-West Peninsula to the north and the Snaefellsnes to the south. The bay has numerous islands with grassland and marshes and extensive intertidal areas along its deeply indented coastline. Snaefellsnes is a long and narrow peninsula with rocky sandstone cliffs holding important seabird colonies on the southern side and rocky shores and sandy lagoons on the coast of the bat to the north. The Breidafjordur is famous as the last resort of most of Iceland's remaining White-tailed Eagles and the islands of the bay support a few pairs of Grey Phalarope, a very rare breeding bird in the Western Palearctic. Harlequin Duck, an Icelandic speciality, can be seen both within the bay and on the southern side of the Snaefellsnes. Gyrfalcon breeds on the peninsula and the seabird colonies include Shag and Cormorant, Black, Common and Brunnich's Guillemot, Razorbill and Puffin, Glaucous Gull and Fulmar. Divers, Whooper Swan, Greylag Goose, Scaup, Long-tailed Duck and Eider also breed as well as Arctic Skua and Arctic Tern, Ptarmigan and Snow Bunting. Red-necked Phalarope, Purple Sandpiper, Whimbrel and Golden Plover are among the waders present in summer. Brent Goose occurs on passage and huge numbers of Knot and other waders visit the intertidal areas on migration. Iceland Gull is present in winter. Common and Grey Seals are commonly seen and in recent years the area has become an important base for whale-watching trips. These can be arranged at either Stykkisholmur or Olafsvik on the northern coast of the peninsula and cetaceans to be seen include White-beaked Dolphin, Killer and Pilot Whales with the possibility of Sperm and Humpback, Fin, Sei, Minke and even Blue Whales on the longer trips. There are roads around the perimeter and across the centre of the peninsula and also along the shore of the Breidafjordur enabling the entire area to be easily explored and there is regular public transport from Reykjavik. Accommodation is available in Stykkisholmur, Borganes and elsewhere and camping is possible at Olafsvik. There are regular boats across the bay from Stykkisholmur to Brjanslaekur on the North-West Peninsula which stop at some of the many islands including Flatey which has breeding Grey Phalarope and Black Guillemot.
Overview
As the main town in Orkney, Kirkwall (ON Kirkjuvagr - Church Bay) makes a good starting point for a visit to the islands. It is first mentioned in the sagas as the dwelling place of Earl Rognvald Brusison about 1035, who built a church dedicated to King Olav of Norway there. The town developed around the Cathedral, and became the administrative and commercial centre, with its access to the North Isles, central position and sheltered harbour in the then much bigger Peedie Sea. Today the winding main Street still follows the shape of the original settlement, and many of the fine old houses with end-on gables date from the 16th to 18th centuries. Narrow lanes run off the Street which has many attractive shops. At Broad Street it opens into the expanse of the grass-covered Kirk Green in front of St Magnus Cathedral. The attractive harbour front is the scene of much activity with ferries and fishing boats. Over the last 200 years the pier has greatly expanded, but the Harbour Basin still retains much of its charm. The Orkney Museum is housed in Tankerness House, parts of which date from the 15th century. This museum is a good starting point from which to gain an insight into Orkney’s rich past. The Tankerness Gardens behind the museum make a pleasant place for a seat on a nice day. St Magnus Cathedral is across the road, and makes an excellent finale to a visit, with its peaceful interior. The nearby Bishop’s and Earl’s Palaces date from Norse and Scottish times. Wideford Hill, just to the west of Kirkwall is situated on the Old Finstown Road. It can be reached by footpath and by road. From the summit most of the North and South Isles, East and West Mainland and Scapa Flow can be seen. Kirkwall is an excellent place to seek out interesting souvenirs or presents, with its wide variety of quality shops stocking knitwear, Orkney jewellery and crafts, local books, as well as many other home-produced items. In addition there is a good selection of Orkney food and drink products such as Highland Park Whisky, Orkney Herring, Orkney Cheese, smoked fish of various kinds and of course the famous Orkney Beef. The Highland Park Visitor Centre on the edge of the town offers visits to the distillery and an excellent audiovisual introduction to Orkney and the making of Highland Park, as well as an enchanting shop which stocks many interesting items.
Overview
Invergordon is a town whose history stretches back through two World Wars and has now developed into a centre for oilrig refurbishment and maintenance. It is also a major port of call for cruise liners, being the only deep water port in the area, 40 liners, with 21,000 visitors from all over the world, berthed in 2004. Ideally situated in the centre of the eastern Highlands, the town's High Street has recently been given a face lift with coloured granite blocks, speed controllers, a new restaurant and a mural has been painted on the Albyn Housing building. There are many places to eat, providing quick take-away food right through to a quality country house hotel and restaurant just inland from the town, Indian and Chinese food is also available as an alternative to the more traditional fayre. There is an Arts Centre, a Leisure and Sports Club, with swimming pool and an 18 hole golf course on the outskirts of town.
