Elliðaey
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. The northern tip of the bay was formed about 15 million years ago, whereas the southern end at Snæfellsnes was formed less than half that time ago.Photograph: Heinrich Pniok

Is this picture really Elliðaey? I can't see any indication of a lighthouse on google earth, or other pictures of Elliðaey on google image search. Compare it to;

The second photo is Ellidaey in the Westmannaeyjar, where as the POTD seems seems indeed to be Ellidaey, north of Stykkisholmur in Breidafjordur. de Bivort 13:36, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Elliðaey

[edit]

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