Today we took a trip on a ferry to Heimaey which took about half an hour which we spent playing cards and looking at the view from the boat. Once we arrived at the island we set off up to the top of the volcano. The view from the top was amazing which made the tough walk worth it.
After spending some time admiring the view we walked back down the volcano and visited a museum on the excavated buildings of the island caused by the destruction of the volcano. We had lunch at the museum and watched a movie on how they stopped the lava from destroying more houses and more importantly the harbour which was the islands main source of income.
Lastly we looked around the town seeing some of the houses that still stand after the eruption and also some parts of the houses that couldn't be saved.
