Puffin Anyone?

The Westman Islands is home to the largest puffin colony in the world. 10 million Puffins live here.

We are on a small Island off the coast of Iceland that they call the Pompeii of the North because it got wiped out by a volcano in 1973.

The entire city was buried. The authorities told the inhabitants they should not go back but they did anyway. The rocks are still hot around the mountain.

We had puffin for dinner, it tastes like liver. A very dark meat.

We're heading to another Island that is brand new. It popped up out of the water in 1963. It was a dramatic, fire-and-brimstone birth that erupted from the icy sea off the south coast of Iceland, among the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) at 63° 4' N, 20° 3' W. No one is allowed on it because scientists are studying how life forms on a new Island.

We're going to sail around it before heading to Reykjavik, which is a 14 hour sail away. We need to make some sail repairs there. The Crew working out well.
