On the bus ride, heading south to catch a plane to the Westman Islands, we stopped at a waterfall.
From the bus, we passed a volcano that looked like it was 'smoking'; like a prelude to an eruption! Our guide kept watching it, but after checking the news, determined that it was probably clouds.
We were sure excited to be riding in this airplane! We were supposed to take the ferry, but it was having routine service that day.
This picture was taken from the plane. We later walked to it as it was close to our hotel.
This is another view of the harbor. During the volcano of 1973, a plan was successful that kept the lava from flowing into the harbor which would have cut off the pass for the boats. Pumps were used to spray seawater on the lava thus diverting it to another direction. 100 pumps were flown over from the US by our military. The locals tell us 'thank you' when we meet.
This is a picture of a picture of the island we are on for three days, Heimaey Island.
