YouTube Video Description

We sailed to Heimaey, Westman Islands with Holland America Line. For a small island, there’s a wealth of great sites to see, from the SEA LIFE Trust Visitor Center (home to the world’s only Beluga whale sanctuary and Puffin rescue center) to the Eidheimar Museum, which tells the story of the 1973 volcano eruption and evacuation. The local town of Vestmannaeyjabær also has great stores, food, and hiking to offer (along Eldfell, the new mountain from the volcano eruption). Find out why this “Pompeii of the North” is a must-see port of call! This video is NOT sponsored.
