Grímsey Island is probably the best location in the world to capture two specific types of images: the first is puffins under the midnight sun, for which the location is unparalleled, & the second is puffins in flight, the results of our guests demonstrate time & again the suitability of Grímsey Island for getting those perfect ‘in-flight' images!

Soaring cliffs surround Grímsey Island, located off the coast of Iceland & the southwest side features magnificent basalt columns; this is one of the best places to photograph the Atlantic Puffins of Iceland.

The vegetation is abundant & consists of marshland, grass & moss. Thousands of seabirds live on the island, such as white wagtails, snow buntings, kittiwakes, razorbills, guillemots, & an abundance of puffins & terns. Seals & whales may also be found in the vicinity.

Grímsey Island has become widely regarded as one of the best places in Iceland to photograph & see puffins and one of the very best places in the world to photograph Atlantic Puffins in flight.

NaturesLens has been running trips to Grímsey Island for 3 years. We were the first UK operator to schedule trips to the island, & our guides & guests have produced some amazing imagery, which can be seen in our gallery area.

The property we will be staying in on Grímsey is ideally located close to the bird cliffs. It is clean & simple. We have chosen to base this workshop on the island for six days & five nights; this will give participants the freedom & flexibility to photograph wherever, whenever, & whatever they choose during the 22 hours of daylight available each day.

We have arranged to take one of the Grímsey Island guesthouses in its entirety for our group & we have planned our trip to coincide with the Atlantic Puffin nesting cycle.

Throughout this photography holiday, Robin & a member of the NaturesLens guiding team will be on hand to guide & lead you. Robin will provide assistance & advice as needed & help you develop your skills. Robin will help you capture images of the Atlantic Puffins of the Arctic Circle & much of the other birdlife found on Grímsey Island.
