Heimaey



Around 7.30 am the MS Fram entered the small entrance to the only village on the island of Heimaey the biggest island of the Vestmanna islands. It is always exciting how a vessel of the size of the MS Fram can pass through the steep cliffs on starboard side and the redish vulcanic lava from the last eruption in 1973 on portside. The weather was overcast and rainy, but nevertheless all of us enjoyed the bustrip, the walking tour and also the film about the eruption on Heimaey in 1973 in the museum.
