As you descend Stórhöfði, savor this picturesque seascape of Heimaey. The eastern coast grew by almost a square mile during the 1973 eruption. Behind it on the left is the isle of Bjarnarey. Across the water on Iceland’s southern mainland is Eyjafjallajökull. A glacier covers the mountain’s 5,417 foot summit. This stratovolcano last erupted in 2010.
