Heimaey is the largest of the Westermann Island. In 1973, the Eldfell volcano suddenly erupted, destroying much of the town in a few hours, though all 5300 residents found safety. A museum, comprising a destroyed cottage along with photographs and explanatory exhibits, tells the dramatic story. After a visit to the museum, we drove along the coast to view some of the jagged off-shore formations.
