They were overrun by lava, collapsed from the weight of the volcanic ash on the roofs, or were set on fire by lava bombs. But in addition to the destruction, the lava flow also created new land: about two square kilometers in the northeast of the island. You can see this new land of the Westman Island Heimaey from the water side during the boat tour. Impressively, the lava piles up here to bizarre towers and lava arches. The waves of the sea crash against the black lava and form a great contrast with their white foam crests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11494\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Lavalandschaft w\u00e4hrend einer Bootstour um die Westm\u00e4nnerinsel Heimaey\" class=\"wp-image-11494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The lava landscape of the Eldfell outcrop is also impressive from the seaside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11493\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-11\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-11\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Lavalandschaft w\u00e4hrend einer Bootstour um die Westm\u00e4nnerinsel Heimaey\" class=\"wp-image-11493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-11.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The lava flow of the Eldfell eruption created new land in the northeast of the island.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vogel\">Bird Rocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Westman Islands are known for their large seabird colonies. Kittiwakes, fulmars and razorbills breed on the cliffs in several tiers. Particularly large numbers of seabirds nest at Cape H\u00f6f\u00f0i, the southernmost point of Heimaey. The cliffs here are 122 m high and there are several caves. We even drive into a cave called \"Fj\u00f3si\u00f0\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our boat trip we also pass Iceland's largest colony of puffins. It is located on the east side of the island Heimaey. From the boat it is a bit difficult to see the puffins at their nesting holes. But one can observe many puffins in the water here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11498\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-13\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-13\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Vogelfelsen w\u00e4hrend einer Bootstour um die Westm\u00e4nnerinsel Heimaey\" class=\"wp-image-11498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-13.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On the rocks of Heimaey seabirds nest in several tiers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11495\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-10\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bird watching hut at Cape H\u00f6f\u00f0i, the southernmost point of Heimaey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fels\">Rocks with fantasy Pictures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Iceland, many rocks and natural phenomena are accompanied by stories. For example, striking rocks are petrified trolls and hot springs or volcanoes are angry women. At the Westman Islands there are even two petrified hedgehogs - these are two offshore cliffs that look particularly round and spiky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the rocks of Heimaey you can see even more with a little imagination. There is a huge elephant drinking from the sea with its trunk. Right next to it a Tyrannosaurus is posing. And near the harbor entrance, a face and an eagle's head can be seen on the rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11496\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-7.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Can you see the elephant dipping its trunk into the water?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lift\">Sheep Lift of the Westman Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past there was little grass on the main island of Heimaey. In order to feed all the sheep, the animals were taken to the greener neighboring islands. But how does one get the sheep up the almost vertical cliffs? With the sheep lift, of course! Necessity is the mother of invention. The Icelanders have made a wire basket that is pulled up the cliff on a rope. What brave animals that must be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, enough grass grows on the island of Heimaey for the sheep. But still, sheep are brought to the outer Westman Islands. Tradition remains tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11490\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-6\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Schaf-Lift w\u00e4hrend einer Bootstour um die Westm\u00e4nnerinsel Heimaey\" class=\"wp-image-11490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ropes are parts of the sheep lift used to pull the animals up the cliffs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bay\">Beluga Whale Sanctuary Klettsvik Bay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Klettsvik Bay used to be the temporary home of the orca Keiko. In the meantime, the two beluga whales \"Little Grey\" and \"Little White\" have moved in here. The bay is 3.2 square kilometers in size with a depth of up to 10 meters. It is separated with a double net and equipped with a supply platform. It is the first beluga whale sanctuary in the world where belugas have been returned from an aquarium to a more natural environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was here in July 2020, the two whales were supposed to have been relocated. But the belugas had a stomach flu and the move to the new environment was delayed until August. I wish Little Grey and Little White all the best, the pilot project much success and hope that many more sanctuaries for whales and dolphins will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11484\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/bootstour-heimaey-island\/heimaey-island-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"heimaey-island-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Belugawal Sanctuary Klettsvik Bay w\u00e4hrend einer Bootstour um die Westm\u00e4nnerinsel Heimaey\" class=\"wp-image-11484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/heimaey-island-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Klettsvik Bay is the new home of the beluga whales \"Little Grey\" and \"Little White\".<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cave\">Meeresh\u00f6hlen und die &#8220;Singing Cave&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the coast of Heimaey there are several sea caves.

To illustrate this, the captain plays us an Icelandic song. And the name of the cave lives up to its promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every now and then, music concerts are held in the \"Singing Cave\".

There are also different routes offered: the circumnavigation of the main island Heimaey or excursions to the offshore islands, for example the island Surtsey, which was formed during the volcanic eruption of 1963-1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had opted for the leisurely tour in the larger boat Teista. The boat tour went once around Heimaey and lasted 1.5 hours. Cost: 8,700 ISK (about 55 euros).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way: <strong>With a little luck you can also see whales on the trip.<\/strong> Even orcas!
