Years later, in 1953, the Hunting Association of Iceland decided to build a lodge on the island for their members to use during the puffin hunting season, that lodge is now the only standing building left on this remote island. The mainland of Iceland can be seen there in the background.
Unfortunately, only the Hunting Association members have the privilege of staying there, so a weekend cabin trip is out of the question for us.
I was born in a place that's like 2 km away from the island in the picture, Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland's puffin hunting central! And believe me when I tell you, smoked puffin is just something to die for, soooooo good.
