Majestätisch die Klippen über dem Hafen von #Heimaey, #Vestmannaeyjar, #Island.

Unser Alternativprogramm zur derzeit gesperrten Eruptionsstelle am #Fagradalsfjall führte uns wieder heraus aus den Strömen des Massentourismus und auf diese vergleichsweise einsame Insel vor der Südküste Islands.

Took this photo of the town of #Heimaey on Heimaey Island, which is part of Westman Islands off the south coast of #Iceland, from the top of the lava field under which half of the town is buried during a volcanic eruption in January 1973. 50 years ago this month.

50 years ago, at 2:00am a volcanic #eruption started on the island of #Heimaey, on the south coast of #Iceland. A 300m long fissure eruption opened up and quickly extended to around 2km in length with 50-150m high lava fountains - crossing the island from one shore to the other.

In 1973, 10 yr old me obsessed over an eruption in Heimaey, Iceland. Little did I know that I’d marry into a family intimately connected to this. This is the dramatic story of what happened. (long thread) #eldfell #heimaey #vestmannaeyjar #lava #eruption #volcano #heimaeyargos
