aerial photography of grass near body of water

At Vestmannaeyjar you can experience the contrast between volcanic stones and green grass right next to the sea. With the last eruption of Eldfell in 1973 the island got 2km^2 bigger. The people living on the island had to fear that the lava closes the entrance to there only harbor. So they tried to cool the lava down with water to secure the future of there important fishing port.
