There are places in Iceland that simply have to be
experienced. The Westman Islands fill that group by
virtue of their natural beauty, the bounty of their
wildlife, particularly birds, and by being historically
and geographically one of Iceland´s most distinctive
places. The islands are part of a young and still active
submarine volcanic system, most of them coming into
being 10-20.000 years ago. The youngest of the group,
however, '''Surtsey''', south of '''Heimaey''', only grew from
the sea floor in episodic eruptions from 1963-1966.
The famous eruption on Heimaey, the largest and sole
inhabited island was, however, even more spectacular.
It began in January 1973, lasting until early July. The
cone '''Eldfell''' (fire mountain in Icelandic), rose, the
island became 2,3 km² larger and block lava flows and
ash burned or buried almost 400 buildings. The remains
of the eruption are among the island´s most fascinating
historical locales.

A journey to the Westman Islands is neither more
expensive nor difficult than to many mainland places.
The only difference is in the preparation as prior
booking whether by sea or air is advisable. From
Reykjavík the trip by air is only 20 minutes, from Bakki
in Landeyjar mere 6 minutes. The passenger and car
ferry Herjólfur makes the trip from Þorlákshöfn in
2.45 hours, offering the obvious advantage of a relaxing
sea voyage and your vehicle on hand on arrival. Heimaey
may only be about 13 km², but that small area contains
enough magical scenery and birdlife to delight the
visitor for days.

Visitors there have always been, but as an industry
tourism is a young one in the islands. It is even possible
to put a date to its birth: 1973 after the eruption, when
visitors from all over the world came to view the
aftermath and remains of the catastrophe. Thirty years
later, '''Eldfell''', the new cone, and the cooled and hardened
lava flows, have befittingly become part of a magnificent
environment, only a part of what awaits the visitors.
Other popular attractions are one of Iceland´s best 18
hole golf courses, deep sea fishing, bird- and whale
watching and hiking: up volcanoes, over lava fields or
along the shore. Museums show the history of the two
and four legged inhabitants of land as well as those of
air and sea through the centuries. Comfortable
accommodation is available as well as first class
restaurants and coffee houses. A short daytrip, as the
only option of visiting us, is therefore very much a
thing of the past. The islands´ tourism industry
endeavours to make visitors feel welcome and preferably
wish to prolong their stay.
