Vestmannaeyjar, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, has the second name of the Westman Islands.

The thing is that this is not one, but as many as 15 small islands in the south of Iceland. Access to the archipelago is possible only by water or air transport. But, despite some difficulties with logistics, it is definitely worth visiting.
Heimaey is the largest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. More than 4000 people live here. The remaining 14 islands are not inhabited by people. Although this is just a convention. The places are quite attractive for travelers who appreciate difficult routes and privacy.

Many attractions can be found on the island of Haimaey.

In particular, this is the exhibition "Pompeii of the North", dedicated to the event that completely turned the life of local residents in 1973. The terrible power of the volcano fell upon the town, which forever buried most of the houses under the ashes and almost destroyed the port - the main economic hub of the settlement. The eruption lasted about 5 months and after it ended, the residents of Heimaey who returned from the evacuation were forced to literally revive their house from the ashes.
It is noteworthy that after these events, the size of the island increased by more than 2 km2. This suggests that the landscapes of Iceland are constantly changing and shaping literally before our eyes.
Hiking enthusiasts should go hiking in the Herjolfsdalur valley, where you can see with your own eyes the authentically recreated houses of the Vikings who inhabited these lands.
Heimaey also has a variety of restaurants serving locally sourced seafood and therefore always the freshest.
An interesting activity for those who love wildlife is bird watching. Local coastal cliffs have chosen a variety of bird species. But the bulk of the "feathered inhabitants" are cute and playful puffins. By the way, it is the dead ends that adorn the coat of arms of Vestmannaeyjar. Also here you can meet Icelandic guillemots, kittiwakes, boobies and gulls.

If you are not lucky enough to go to Iceland yet, Vestmannaeyjar webcams, which you can watch online in real time, will allow you to take an exciting virtual walk.
