The fires were as a result of a prolonged drought and extreme high temperatures, conditions that are being exaserbated by climate change. One year on, the survivors are still living in emergency housing constructed on the edge of the town.

IMG_7747_lava flow.jpg On 23 January 1973 a 2 km long fissure opened up spewing out lava forming a new vocanoe, Eldfell. The lava flow threatened Heimaey town, on Heimaey in the Westmand Islands off Iceland's south coast. The lava and ash buried and destroyed one third of the town and threatened the harbour, the life line for the islands. The whole island was evacuated. A novel technique of pumping sea water onto the lava front, solidified the flowing mass and diverted the lava flow away from the harbour. When the eruption ceased in June, Heimaey was 2km bigger. This shot shows the upper storey of a house that was destroyed on the edge of the lava flow.
