Summary

Description

Lava flow between two fish-processing factories, Heimaey, Iceland. (The file name is a bit misleading, since the flow had stopped advancing months before the photo was taken.)

Original caption (from a USGS publication, hence public domain):

"Figure 22. View looking south-southeast of the late March surge of lava into the town of Vestmannaeyjar that stopped at the back of and in the street between the two fish-processing plants, Fiskiðan hf. (left) and Ísfélag Vestmannaeyja hf. (right), in late March 1973. Water-cooling operations were concentrated along the advancing edge of the lavas until the forward motion of the lavas was halted. Photograph tacken by Richard S. Williams, Jr., U.S. Geological Survey, on 23 July 1973. A photograph taken a year later (July 1974) would show the lava flow completely removed and the street restored to use."
