The drive to Stórhöfði at the southern tip of Heimaey is easy and short. The island is only five square miles and four miles long. Enjoy the scenic journey past a few livestock farms and across grass-covered lava fields shaped by cliffs plunging into the sea. The mountainscape in the background is part of the Northern Cliffs. Norðurklettar was created over 10,000 years ago. This mountain range is part of a submarine volcanic system stretching for over 400 miles with at least 80 craters.
