    Excursion directly to the former crater line possible. Only suitable to a limited extent in storms/bad weather. Sure-footedness required when descending.

      The Eldfell is a volcano with a 200m high cinder cone on Heimaey. It formed without warning in a volcanic eruption a few hundred meters outside the town of Heimaey on January 23, 1973. The volcano has been dormant since the eruptions ended in July 1973. On its summit you have a great all-round view over almost the entire island
