In 2005, the Vestmannaeyjar town council agreed to take part in a project that involved excavating ten houses that had been buried under lava since the 1973 eruption, and a construction of a visitors’ centre where people can view the houses and learn more about this extraordinary event. The project was completed in 2013, on the dramatic events’ 40th anniversary.
