Summer in Iceland brings near-continuous daylight, while winters are dark, and Grímsey lies on the Arctic Circle to the north. Icelandic is the language spoken throughout the country, a North Germanic tongue close to Old Norse, though visitors manage easily in English. Traditional foods include skyr, rye bread baked in geothermal ground and fermented shark, which appear on menus around the capital. Norse settlers from Scandinavia and the British Isles colonised Iceland's islands in the ninth and tenth centuries.
