Vestmannaeyjar, or The Westman Islands, are truly a
wonder of Nature.
The youngest island of the Vestmannaeyjar, Surtsey, was born in 1963
and the oldest one is around 40.000 years old!
While the volcano
Helgafell looks over the island since over 5000 years, just in its
neighbourhood the young volcano Eldfell erupted in 1973.
During
the Viking Tours boat cruise you will see many of the wonders of the
Vestmannaeyjar nature.
Colourful
ocean caves, millions of seabirds and, occasionally during the summer,
groups of whales. On the return from the cruise you will enjoy
instrumental music in the natural echo of the ocean cave Klettshellir.
During the Viking Tours bus tour you will see the wonders of
Heimaey. You will visit the puffins at Stórhöfði and walk up to the
crater of Eldfell volcano, that erupted only a few years ago.
When
you visit the old fort Skansinn you may run into a stranded pirate. On
Heimaey you will see an elephant that may be the largest one in the
world and it doesn't seem, that he will leave soon. |
