Orbis et Globus (Circle and Sphere) is an artwork that was placed on the Arctic Circle in 2017. It is a 3m diameter globe that will follow the fluctuating North-South part of the Arctic Circle until it leaves the island.

This is one of the notable buildings in Grímsey, It is 9,6 m high and built in year 1937 according to the design of the engineer Benedikt Jónasson.

Grímsey has many beautiful basalt columns formations especially at the south west corner of the island. Basalt is a volcanic material that can crystallize into special formation if thick lava flow is cooled relatively rapidly from a horizontal angel – then the lava cracks and creates these special hexagonal formations.

A symbol for the Arctic Circle can be found in many places of the world at a fixed spot, but due to the fact that the Arctic Circle is constantly moving this is just a symbol of where it has been at a given time.

Between the village and the airport, shortly after the pond on the way to the airport one can see two caps on the left hand side, which the story tells is the burial site of the first settlers of Grímsey.
