Skrudur Art print on canvas

The rocky island

Skrudur rises steeply out of the sea just east of the Faskrudsfiord Bay. Two flat and small islets are closer to land, The Duck Island and The Eider reef. On the island Skrudur is a large cave where hunters stayed during the summer. People collected eggs and hunted birds every year on the island and still do. The lush vegetation, which hardly looses its green colour during winter, is richly fertilized by the myriad of birds nesting there.
