About Westman Islands
Vestmannaeyjar is a municipality and archipelago off the south coast of Iceland. The largest island, Heimaey, has a population of 4,537, most of whom live in the archipelago's main town, Vestmannaeyjabær. The other islands are uninhabited, although six have single hunting cabins. Vestmannaeyjar came to international attention in 1973 with the eruption of the Eldfell volcano, which destroyed many buildings and forced a month-long evacuation of the entire population to mainland Iceland.
