Hrísey is an island in the middle of Eyjafjörður (island fjord) in the northern part of Iceland and the island is known for being a sanctuary for a few species of birds, arctic terns eider ducks and ptarmigans to name a few. The ptarmigan is probably the most famous bird of these as they are hunted all around the country except for there. | |||
The ptarmigan with it's wings up and the bird's body from wingtip to bottom of belly forms the shape of the island. | |||
