Málmey

It is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and it reaches an elevation of 156 m above sea level in its northern part.

[2][5] The island was inhabited until 1950, when a fire destroyed the farm which housed 14 people and it has remained uninhabited since.

Málmey is now property of the Lighthouse and Port authority of Iceland, and is only accessible by boat.

[2][3][4] Málmey is mentioned in the Sturlunga saga as the place where, in 1221, the bishop Guðmundur Arason flees to escape Tumi Sighvatsson and his men, who threatened to kill him.

Guðmundur left the island on Easter day, after his followers had killed Tumi Sighvatsson.
