Iceland’s Neighbour Islands
There are some other islands in the North Atlantic Ocean not far away from Iceland that are worth a visit:
The shortest distance to Greenland is only about 280 kilometers. The most southern tip of
Greenland is about 1,500 kilometers away from Reykjavik and can be reached by a two and a half hour flight from the icelandic capital. Tour operators offer miscellaneous trips to South and
East Greenland. There are one day trips available to Kulusuk (East Greenland) as well as longer trips to Narsasuaq in the south.
The Faroes are a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway from Iceland to Norway. Those who come to Iceland by the ferry Norröna of the faroese shipping company Smyril Line, also pass the archipelago of the Faroe Islands. The Icelandic airline Air
Iceland also offers some flights and short trips starting from Reykjavik.
  Jan Mayen
Isolated in the North Atlantic Ocean, the isle of Jan Mayen is located about 600
kilometers in the North of Iceland. Only some scientists live on the small volcano island. However some cruise ships pass Jan Mayen in summer on their way from Iceland to
Svalbard so that tourists can take a short look at the island.
