Our last full expedition day in Iceland began at Flatey, a small island between the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes. After a short Zodiac cruise, we landed on the inhabited island and wandered by picturesque wooden houses while observing various Arctic birds, including puffins, redshanks, red-necked phalaropes, and Arctic terns. The small church was another highlight due to its decorative and modern paintings. In the afternoon, the ship went alongside the small town of Grundarfjörður on northern Snæfellsnes. After a walk or a short bus ride, we visited the Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall next to the majestic Kirkjufell Mountain. Whilst the ship sailed silently towards tomorrow’s destination, Reykjavík, the evening ended with the guest slideshow and the Captain’s dinner.
