Eldfell volcanic cone

Eldfell is a volcanic cone just over 200 metres high on the island of Heimaey south of Iceland mainland. It formed in a volcanic eruption, which began without warning on the eastern side of Heimaey, in the Westman Islands, on 23 January 1973. The name means Hill of Fire in Icelandic.

The eruption caused a major crisis for the island and nearly led to its permanent evacuation. Volcanic ash fell over most of the island, destroying around 400 homes, and a lava flow threatened to close off the harbour as you can see in the view to the north.
