Västmanna Archipelago, Iceland

The Västmanna Archipelago is a group of volcanic archipelagos off the southern coast of Iceland, rather than a single city, with the administrative center being the town of Västmannaeyjar. The archipelago consists of 15 islands, of which Hema is the only inhabited one, known for its spectacular volcanic landscape and puffin habitat.The town was partially buried by the 1973 eruption of Mount Eldfjord, but the inhabitants were successfully evacuated, and it has since been rebuilt as an important fishing base.

The archipelago has a unique volcanic landscape and is rich in birdlife, and is Iceland's most important puffin colony, with millions of puffins to be seen in the summer. The surrounding waters are frequented by whales, and the tourism industry is dominated by bird-watching, volcano hiking and marine ecology tours. The black sand beaches and steep cliffs are a rare natural beauty.

The local "Festival of the Islands" is held every August and showcases the Viking cultural heritage.
