A Historical Tour of the Westmann Islands EF

Surtsey was formed by a submarine volcanic eruption in the 1960s, while an eruption on Heimaey in 1973 submerged half its town in lava and ash. Your flight lands on Heimaey, at which time you'll be taken on a guided coach tour spotlighting some of the most interesting features of the island, where nature has sculpted a fascinating landscape teeming with diverse bird and animal life, including the world's largest puffin colony.
