			Vestmannaeyjar are a group of fifteen islands, rock pillars and skerries, large and small; a microcosm of humans, birds and creatures of the sea. We, who
			spend all or part of our lives in such close proximity to such splendours of nature and simultaneously be able to raise our children in safety and peace, consider it a privilege.

	~~[[Mynd:Vestmannaeyjabaer.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|Vestmannaeyjabær.]]~~		To many Vestmannaeyjar are unique; rising from the North-Atlantic ocean, far off the beaten track, a destination only to those who specifically set out to go there.

This, perhaps dated and fanciful remoteness, lends the islands an aura of magic and adventure, particularly to those living far away. Let me assure you, however, that Vestmannaeyjar are not that remote; the passage here is smoother and easier than you might think. And once here, what you will find waiting for you is magnificent rugged nature, inhabited by human and non-human teeming life that leaves its mark on any visitor; many of whom return again and again. We are lucky enough to have and have had among us valued friends that originally came for a few months´ fishing season that inadvertently lasted a lifetime.

The history of our islands is in many ways exceptional. For decades they were one of Iceland’s largest and busiest fishery centres contributing a proportionally immense share of the nation’s export revenue. As the fishing industry has become increasingly technologically advanced and entered the fierce competition of the international market place this has to some extent
			changed. The fishing industry is still, however, of great importance to Vestmannaeyjar and will continue to be, for the foreseeable future, one of the main pillars of the community’s economic life.

The islands offer considerable opportunities for those seeking to build new enterprises - a hard-working population, short distances and last but not least a safe and friendly environment for young families and growing children.

	The islands welcome a great number of visitors every year, mainly during summer. The tourist industry is a growing and flourishing one, well able and willing to accommodate more of both: people and innovations. The primary aim of this brochure is to garner information about the various opportunities the
	~~Westman Islands offer. I sincerely hope that you, its reader, find in it something to kindle an interest in visiting us to share the privilege of our islands´ generous and magnificent nature.~~

	~~You are very welcome.~~
