Kolbeinsey
Kolbeinsey (; also known as '''Kolbeinn's Isle, Seagull Rock, Mevenklint, Mevenklip, or Meeuw Steen') is a small Icelandic islet in the Greenland Sea located off the northern coast of Iceland, north-northwest of the island of Grímsey. It is the northernmost point of Iceland and lies north of the Arctic Circle. The islet is named after Kolbeinn Sigmundarson, from Kolbeinsdalur in Skagafjörður, who according to Svarfdæla saga'' is said to have broken his ship there and died with his men.
