Hellisey (Icelandic pronunciation:[ˈhɛtlɪsˌeiː]ⓘ) is a small, uninhabited island in the Vestmann Islands, south of Iceland. It is 6 km southwest of Heimaey and 13 km northeast of Surtsey.[1]
Hellisey only has an area of 0.1 km ² and extends to about 100 m above sea level.
Nature
The island is a bird paradise. Like other Vestmann Islands, Hellisey is also a volcanic island. A local company makes fishing tours to the island. Prior to 1960, the island also had some sheep.
Miscellaneous
A fishing boat was named after the island. It sank on 12 March 1984. Guðlaugur Friðþórsson was the only survivor of the crew.[2]
As with other Vestmann islands, Hellysey has inspired some traditional poems[3]
