Polar Flight to Grimsey ONCE IN A LIFETIME 2½

AEY002 by minibus, plane and on foot

Enjoy this rare opportunity to visit acommunity living in harmony with itsenvironment on the brink of the inhabitableworld.

Admire the stunning views as you fly over the Arctic Circle to Grimsey – Iceland’snorthernmost inhabited island. Covering an areaof only 2 square miles, the island is small enoughto easily be explored on foot. This remote andbeautiful island with its local church built fromdriftwood, is steeped in folklore and legend.

The island's sheer cliffs are home to huge colonies of sea birds and in summer, theintrepid islanders abseil down the cliff faces tocollect the eggs that are considered a localdelicacy. The present settlement is located onthe southern and western parts of Grimsey - mostof it around the little harbour, which has beenimproved during the last few years thanks to thetransportation of large rocks from the mainland.

In 1793 the island was almost abandoned whena disease killed all but 6 of the male population.

The remaining 6 went on a mission to themainland in order to fetch ‘back-up’. However,on the return journey the boat was lost at seaand all were drowned, leaving the clergyman asthe only male on the island!

An interesting and informative guided walkaround the island will reveal the highlights of thisfascinating community before boarding yourplane back to Akureyri. Certificates are awardedfor crossing the Arctic Circle.

Essential information. The flight to Grimseytakes approximately 30 minutes each way. The guided walk is over grass, rough terrainand puffin burrows so extreme care must betaken to avoid tripping. Approximately 1 hourwill be spent on the island.

Stavanger Countryside 4

STA022 by coach

Leave behind the bustling city of Stavangerand become acquainted with the charmingand peaceful countryside.

Following the Dirdal River and valley, you willreach Byrkjedalstunet. The re-constructedcheese factory in Byrkjedalstunet dates back to1920 and now houses a restaurant and acandle-maker’s workshop. Enjoy a tea or coffeeand some traditional 'lapper' (thick pancakes)with jam and sour cream. Take some time to visitthe colourful candle workshop, to see the widevariety of candles produced here, beforebrowsing the gift shop with its array ofNorwegian handicrafts, woollens, souvenirs andcandles.

Venture onwards to see the GloppedalsurenBoulder Field, Norway's largest field of boulders,with some as big as houses. Continue via the flat,fertile farming area of Jæren and the beaches atSola before some city sightseeing in Stavanger.

Essential information. There is approximately15 minutes’ total walking involved on thistour, most of which is optional. The lighting atthe refreshment venue is quite dim to add tothe atmosphere, therefore care should betaken. This tour involves several tunnels.

Make the most of your time ashore. Half day tours take you to see the mainsights and then give you the rest of the day to explore independently. If youwant to delve a little deeper, then consider a full day tour which takes you

further afield often to places you can’t see independently.
