Flatey á Skjálfanda
Flatey er láglend eyja á Skjálfandaflóa um 2,5 kílómetra frá landi utan við Flateyjardal.
Byggð var í eyjunni fram til 1967 en þá fluttu síðustu eyjaskeggjarnir í land.
The peaceful island, Flatey á Skjálfanda, is incredibly rich in birdlife with arctic tern and puffin colonies. Its highest point is only 22m above sea level, hence the name Flatey which means "the flat island". The island was inhabited until 1967, nowadays the island is a wonderful summer getaway from modern life.
