== Iceland == 

 Although "Akureyri municipality now controls the islands of Hrísey (as of 2004) and Grímsey (as of 2009)," and "although these two islands are roughly 35 km and 95 km from the city," they are in no way enclaves, exclaves, pene-enclaves or pene-exclaves. They are merely distant islands and therefore inaccessible. But so are thousands of islands around the globe that are not listed here.   

 Similar to Hrísey and Grímsey, other divisions of Iceland control the islands of Heimaey, Hjörsey, Brokey, Flatey in Skjálfandi, Flatey in Breiðafjörður, Æðey, Málmey, Papey, Viðey, Surtsey, Vigur, Elliðaey, Bjarnarey, Engey, Álsey, Langey, Suðurey, Drangey, Eldey, Hellisey, Kolbeinsey, Geirfuglasker, Hvalbakur, Lundey, Brandur, Súlnasker, Geldungur, Hani, Hæna, Hrauney and Grasleysa, although these islands too are away from their main divisions. 

 Similar examples in other countries: 

 * Hawaii controls 132 islands in the Hawaiian Chain. 
 * Alaska controls the Aleutian Islands and Little Diomede Island. 
 * Florida controls the Keys and the Dry Tortugas. 
 * North Carolina controls the Outer Banks. 
 * Massachusetts controls Martha's Vineyard. 
 * Washington state controls the San Juan Islands. 
 * California controls the Catalina Islands and the Farallons. 
 * Chile controls Easter Island. 
 * Ecuador controls the Galapagos. 
 * Australia controls Tasmania.  
 * France and the Kingdom of the Netherlands control undivided islands in the Caribbean that are integral French and Dutch municipalities. 
 * Denmark controls Greenland and the Faeroes. 
 * Greece controls hundreds of Mediterranean islands. 

 Are any of these islands pene-exclaves?  The answer is NO.  If Hrísey and Grímsey qualify, then we also need to list all these and many, many, many more. (Hey, Indonesia!)
