Summers bring near-continuous daylight, and winters are dark, with Grímsey lying on the Arctic Circle, so visiting hours shift sharply with the season. Skyr, rye bread baked in geothermal ground and fermented shark are traditional Icelandic foods, and they turn up on tables around the country. Patronymic surnames ending in -son or -dóttir are still used, and English is widely understood, which makes everyday communication straightforward. The Westman Islands are reached by ferry from Landeyjahöfn and by domestic flights to Heimaey.
