Miles Away

The fantastic view from the summit (122 m) of Stórhöfði, the rocky peninsula at the southern end of Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar (the Westmen Islands), Iceland.

Stórhöfði is linked to the main island by a narrow isthmus created by lava from Helgafell's eruption 5000 years ago. Headland Stórhöfði is the southernmost inhabited spot of the country.

In the distance is visible, on Iceland mainland, Eyjafjallajökull, the Glacier of the Islands, that takes its name from the Vestmannaeyjar.
