?One of the great joys of a visit to Iceland is the chance to view the
local wildlife in one of the world's most unusual landscapes. In the
spring, bird watchers and nature lovers flock to the Westmann Islands
(20 miles south of Iceland) to welcome the return of the puffin, (or

in 1973 and all the inhabitants had to be evacuated immediately.?
