Will Arctic terns attack me?

Probably yes if you visit May–August. They nest on the island and dive-bomb anyone who comes near. Bring a hat or stick to hold above your head — they'll attack the highest point.

Can I see the Peace Tower light year-round?

No — it illuminates only October 9 (John Lennon's birthday) through December 8 (anniversary of his death). Winter nights only.

维迪岛——雷克雅未克岛屿避风港

背景

历史与背景

Viðey settled c. 900s. Augustinian monastery founded 1225 (dissolved at Reformation 1539). Viðeyjarstofa built 1755 as merchant/sheriff residence — Iceland's first stone building. Island farmed until 1940s, then abandoned. Imagine Peace Tower unveiled 2007 on what would have been John Lennon's 67th birthday. Island now protected nature reserve.

Viðey Island is 1.6 km² (about 1.5 km long, 1 km wide), located 700m offshore from Skarfabakki harbour northeast of Reykjavík. The island is uninhabited except for summer café staff and conservation workers. **Ferry:** Elding operates ferry from Skarfabakki (near Harpa) May–September, approximately hourly 10:15–17:00. Journey 5 minutes. Winter service reduced (weekends only). Round-trip included in Reykjavík City Card. **Viðeyjarstofa House:** Built 1755–1763, Iceland's first stone building. Originally merchant's house. Now small museum and summer café (June–August). **Imagine Peace Tower:** Yoko Ono memorial to John Lennon, unveiled 2007. Wishing well with 'Imagine Peace' in 24 languages. Light beam illuminates October 9–December 8 each year (visible from Reykjavík). **Nature:** Car-free, mostly grassland and low shrubs.

民间故事

故事与民间故事

Viðey Island lies 700 metres offshore from Reykjavík — a peaceful 1.6 km² island reached by 5-minute ferry, offering walking paths, bird cliffs, 18th-century stone house (Iceland's oldest), and Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower memorial to John Lennon. The island is car-free and largely uninhabited, making it Reykjavík's easiest escape into nature. Arctic terns nest in summer (dive-bombing visitors), and on clear days views stretch across Faxaflói bay to Mount Esja and distant glaciers.

你知道吗？

The Imagine Peace Tower's light beam is powered by geothermal energy — the wishing well sits atop a shaft drilled into bedrock where geothermal water generates electricity for the lights.

The East Coast Bird Cliffs

The far eastern shore has low cliffs where guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes nest — less famous than Arctic terns but more interesting to watch.

The 360° Summit View

Viðey's highest point (32 metres) offers a complete panorama: Reykjavík spreading south, Esja to the north, Reykjanes peninsula west, and on clear days Snæfellsjökull glacier 120 km away.
