About: (Description)
A town and fishing centre with a good harbour
but a difficult entrance channel. Salmon hatchery nearby. In 1828 seven
British sailors arrived at Grindavík after being shipwrecked in the
Greenland ice and surviving 49 days adrift. The farm Járngerðarstaðir
near Grindavík is the birthplace of Dr. Bjarni Sæmundsson (1867-1940),
marine biologist, the first Icelander to study marine biology and a pioneer
in the field.
