Kolbeinsey (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈkʰɔlˌpeinsˌeiː]; also known as Kolbeinn's Isle, Seagull Rock, Mevenklint, Mevenklip, or Meeuw Steen) is a small islet 105 kilometres (65 mi) off the northern coast of Iceland, 74 kilometres (46 mi) north-northwest of the island of Grímsey. The island is the northernmost point of Iceland and lies north of the Arctic Circle. It is named after Kolbeinn Sigmundsson from Kolbeinsdalur in Skagafjörður who is said to have broken his ship there and died with his men, according to Svarfdæla saga. A basalt landform, devoid of vegetation, it is subject to rapid wave erosion and is expected to disappear in the near future. Erosion rate data from 1994 suggested that this would happen around 2020. As of August 2020, two small sections of the island remain visible
