Episode Notes
Most people don't visit the Westman Islands during their Iceland vacation. And that's too bad! A fun and not too long ferry ride (which is an adventure in itself) gets you to a fascinating island with a rich history. The recent volcano eruption here isn't ancient history. Add millions of puffins, a rope attached to a cliff, and more, and you're in for a memorable trip!
