We have now been on Heimaey for a few days as we still can not move on to Greenland due to the weather conditions.

The island is known for its interesting geography as in 1973 a volcano destroyed half of the town and threatened to close off the harbour for ever. Its imposing mountains that rise steeply out of the sea, however, have been invisible to us most of the time because of the low hanging clouds and a miserable drizzle.
