  The Westmann islands                 

 

 

The cloudy ceiling is very low. Time was rather bad lasting our two days of presence (cold, rain, fog)

 

 

In 1973, on this island, a volcano extinguished for 6000 years has awaked, giving a gigantic explosion. Consequence: a completely buried city and a death.

One sees here very well the residues of the explosion.

 

 

The city has today 5000 inhabitants and the essential resource of the island is fishing.
