Excursion Expedition activities with silversea expedition team tour at siglufjordur

Malmey is an uninhabited island off the northern coast of Iceland, one of the three islands in the Skagafjörður bay. It is a long and narrow island, about 4 km long and about 1 km wide, surrounded by stunning cliffs on all sides. The structure of the southern part is hyaloclastite and the northern part shows the remnants of a shield volcano, which probably erupted early in the ice age. There is a lighthouse which was built in 1937. The island is well vegetated and the farmland was considered very good. It was inhabited until 1950, when a fire destroyed the farm which housed 14 people and it has remained uninhabited since.
