Grindavík - not a ghost town...

A cross posting from my Fieldnotes from Iceland blog.

A week or more ago, I read a BBC account on the town of Grindavík, which was described as a ghost town.

The community of Grindavík were not impressed with the reporting according to this Iceland Monitor piece.

“This is disgustingly wrong. Grindavík is not buried under lava. People live and work there. It’s a town, not a tourist attraction,” one Facebook user wrote.

The town has a new website which is well worth visiting.
