Akureyri and Hrisey island are our last longer stops in northern Iceland. After these destinations, we travel back to Reykjavik and stay there for a few days and some daily tours. And very important: The icelandic spring has definitely begun! Akureyri Akureyri is the centre of trade and services in northern Iceland. With a population of about 19.000, it is the second largest urban area outside the capital area of Reykjavík. The town is situated in one of the longest fjords in the country and is surrounded by mountains reaching up to 1500 m. Akureyri is a popular tourist destination and a good location for hiking or whale watching. Hrisey island Hrisey is a small island, also known as Eyjafjörður's pearl of nature. It is renowned for its abundant birdlife. The island lies out in the middle of the fjord and can be reached by a ferry. There are a small fishing village and some hiking trails.
