Picture of the day

The island Elliðaey in Breiðafjörður, a large shallow bay in the west of Iceland. It separates the region of the Westfjords from the south of the country.

• What de Bivort said. Two similarly named islands, in two locations. Apparently a lot of people get them confused.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:08, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Elliðaey? Really? I cant find it anywhere. Elliðaey is part of Vestmannaeyjar. Rmir2 (talk) 08:12, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
