| 1975: The Volcanic Eruption on Heimaey |
The volcanic island of Heimaey. In the 1970s it had a population of 5,200 who were woken up at 2.00 am on 23 January 1973 when the volcano erupted for the first time in recorded history. Fortunately the entire fishing fleet was in the harbour for the night and was able to carry everyone to mainland safety, most of them would eventually return.
