Westman Islands
06 June 2006 Filed in: Geology
We've recently returned from a trip to the Westman
Islands, a group of volcanically active islands off
the south coast of Iceland, and learned a lot about
the eruption that took place there in 1973.
The US Geological Survey has a thorough account of the event which is available for download here. It's interesting reading, particularly if you have visited the island and are able to visualise the geography more clearly.
