Volcanic Pools And Elusive Surtsey Island.
... trip in a boat, where we saw amazing bird life and volcanic caves and cliffs. In 1973 this island had to be evacuated due to massive volcanic eruptions which covered a third of the island in lava and ash and increased the size of the island by 2.3 square kilometers!
After the trip we changed our ferry ticket to go back to the mainland earlier and just as we were about to get on the ferry we noticed a brochure, and on reading it found ...
