'''Drop by “Skansinn”''', the place by the harbour where past and present meet, where the lava flow stopped in 1973. There you will find a Norse timber church, the only one of its kind in Iceland, a gift from the people of Norway, and Landlyst, the second oldest building on the islands, now housing a small but interesting medical museum. | '''Drop by “Skansinn”''', the place by the harbour where past and present meet, where the lava flow stopped in 1973.

'''Take a walk on our most recent lava field''', many meters above the streetlevel and buildings that used to be, where you will find signposts to mark their former place and aid the imagination. A fine walk would include the “geothermal” area, where the returning islanders constructed a heating system for their houses using the heat from the cooling lava, then eastward to Prestavík and Viðlagavík and then end in Gaujulundur, a lava garden, an oasis in a desert. | '''Take a walk on our most recent lava field''', many meters above the streetlevel and buildings that used to be, where you will find signposts to mark their former place and aid the imagination.
