This is a sad place by Teitur

Though the name is cool, and it’s been romanticized quite a bit the fact is that it’s a rather ugly little fishing/tourist village in the middle of nowhere. On top of that it’s damn unfriendly and expensive.

It’s also been bugging me for a year now that I was there and didn’t see the obelisk of the Struve Geodetic Arc that’s there.
