About Vestmannaeyjar
The Westman Islands were formed by submarine volcanic eruptions along a 30-km-long fissure lying south-west to north-east. The largest island is Heimaey, 13.4 km². Most of the islands have steep sea cliffs, and are well vegetated. Bird-hunting and egg-collecting are traditional to the islander's culture.
