	Vestmannaeyjar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vestmannaeyjar (The West-men Islands) is a small archipelago off the south coast of Iceland.
		Not long after Ingólfur Arnarson arrived in Iceland, his brother Hjörleifur was murdered by the slaves he had brought with him.
		In the year 1627 the islands were attacked by a fleet of pirates from the Barbary Coast (modern Algeria), who killed many, enslaved much of the population and took them to Algeria where most of them spent the rest of their lives in bondage.

	Iceland
		Vestmannaeyjar, including the recently active eruptive centers of Surtsey and Heimaey, may be forming at the tip of the reorganizing North America–Eurasia plate boundary system, where the seafloor spreading on Iceland appears to be shifting from the Western Volcanic Zone to the Eastern Volcanic Zone (EVZ).
		A linear chain of small islands and seafloor eruptions is consistent with Vestmannaeyjar being the southern extension of the EVZ.
		In contrast to Vestmannaeyjar, a brief EM300 survey of the first Reykjanes Ridge segment offshore of the Reykjanes Peninsula shows that seafloor spreading here has been active long enough that the volcanism has coalesced into a focussed volcanic system.

		One of the most destructive volcanic eruptions in the history of Iceland began in the early morning of January 23, 1973, near the Nation's premier fishing port, the town of Vestmannaeyjar, on Heimaey, the only inhabited isle in the Vestmannaeyjar volcanic archipelago.
		Before the eruption was over, approximately one-third of the town of Vestmannaeyjer had been obliterated, but, more importantly, the potential damage probably was reduced by the spraying of seawater onto the advancing lava f!ows, causing them to be slowed, stopped, or diverted from the undamaged portion of the town.
