Fodor's Expert Review Eldheimar
Vestmannaeyjar
Fodor's Choice
In 1973, in the middle of the night, the Eldfell volcano on Vestmannaeyjar suddenly exploded, causing the immediate evacuation of more than 5,000 people. At this tech museum—built around the ruins of two houses that were buried by the lava—you can learn about the eruption. To call the museum entertaining would be an understatement as it's filled with video footage and interactive displays that truly underscore the awe-inspiring and destructive power of the earth.
