The experience

Explore the events of the 1973 volcanic eruption in Vestmannaeyjar

Whether or not you were around in 1973, you may have heard about Iceland's Eldfell volcano, which erupted for about six months and covered much of Vestmannaeyjar in ash. It was one of the country's biggest natural disasters, garnering global attention. The event forever changed the lives of people on Heimaey, the only inhabited island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. Eldheimar will fill you in on the jaw-dropping wrath of a natural wonder that's still blowing minds today.
