Hjörsey (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈçœr̥sˌeiː] ) is the largest island in western Iceland and the third largest in Iceland.[1] It was part of the traditional county of Mýrasýsla; there used to be a church on Hjörsey, but it was taken apart in 1896.[2] The island was also formerly home to a farm.[3] While there is no human population on the island, a herd of wild horses is able to roam the island freely.[4]
