Heimaey Iceland … Home Island

Heimaey is home to just over 4,000 people - the only populated island in the Vestmannaeyjar islands. When you visit, pause to watch the puffins fly, and hear the locals’ stories of how puffins build their homes when they start a family; how humans help the baby pufflings to follow the lights that bring them home as they learn to fly; and how the island’s income producing harbour was saved from a devastating eruption from an unlikely source … the cold waters of the sea.
