    Heimaey, Iceland

    Whales, puffins, and a dramatic volcanic eruption. The penultimate island on our isle-hopping expedition cruise is Heimaey, off the south coast of Iceland. It's the only inhabited island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. Heimaey has a fascinating history involving runaway slaves, murder, revenge, magic, and Barbary pirates, and it still bears the scars of a powerful volcanic eruption in 1973 that nearly destroyed the island. Visit the Sea Life Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary, and also hike to see puffins at Storhofdi, where around 8 million nest every summer. Be sure to check out the volcano, Eldfell - or 'Fire Mountain'. It's well worth the effort to climb to its summit, offering incredible views of the town below. ...
