Smith's Iceland is an island in the northeast of Bermuda , located in the Bay St. George's Harbor between Paget Iceland in the north and Saint David's Iceland in the south.
The densely forested Smith's Island is the third largest island in the Bermuda administrative area of Saint George's Parish and about 1200 meters long and a maximum of 280 meters wide. It is sparsely populated and has only a few villas on the north and south coast.
The island was one of the first areas of Bermuda settled by English colonialists in 1612. It is named after the English aristocrat Thomas Smith (1588–1625).
