Golf Inside a Volcano

Cross by ferry to Heimaey for a round at Vestmannaeyjar Golf Club, set inside the crater of an extinct volcano with holes that spill out toward the open Atlantic. Founded in 1938, it’s Iceland’s third-oldest golf club and one of its most unique settings, framed by sheer volcanic walls and sea stacks offshore.
