Heimaey - Boat Trip

Surtsey is the newest island in the world. The two volcanoes on Surtsey erupted in 1963 (10 years before Helgafell) and created a new island. The two volcanoes on Surtsey are called Surtur and Surtur Junior. Only scientists can land on Surtsey but you can get a flight over it or a boat trip around it. We just saw it from the distance.






Our Captain took the boat into a cave just outside Heimaey harbour. He turned the motor off and played his saxophone. His music was good ... but I think he was a better captain than musician.


We saw Helgafell and Eldfell.


We went on a boat trip around Heimaey. Heimaey is the biggest island in Vestmanneyjar.
