View in eastern direction to the harbour of Vestmannaeyjabær, the only large settlement of Heimaey, the main island of the archipelago of Vestmannaeyjar. The steep mountain on the left side is Heimaklettur (283 m), whereas the uneven land in the right background is a lava field which almost blocked the harbour entrance in 1973.
