About Gunnustaðagróf
Gunnustaðagróf er á Selströnd, við norðanverðan Steingrímsfjörð. Víða á ströndinni hefur fundist surtarbrandur en þó einna mestur í Gunnustaðagróf. „Þar stóð til að vinna surtarbrand í stórum stíl til eldsneytis árið 1918 en lítið varð úr framkvæmdum“ (1). Til að komast að grófinni er „gengið upp með landamerkjalæk (Winklerfoss) upp þrjá hjalla“ (2).
