Grímsey Airport — Grímsey/Sandvík, Iceland

GRY identifies Grímsey Airport, a tiny airstrip on Grímsey, a remote Icelandic island straddling the Arctic Circle in the sea north of the mainland. The airport exists mainly to keep the island's small fishing community connected, with short scheduled flights operated by small propeller aircraft to Akureyri. Grímsey has no scheduled ferry replacement for urgent travel, so GRY plays an outsized role in daily life, medical evacuations, and mail delivery. The runway is gravel or short paved surface suited only to light aircraft. Visitors who fly into GRY often come specifically to stand on the Arctic Circle marker, making tourism a secondary but growing use of the airport.
