Next Gufuskálar there is a great number of dome-as structures of unknown origin, is believed that between 500 and 700 years. They are probably the oldest traces than are known of the industry fishing ground in Scandinavia. Some they believe that these structures served as places of prayer or meditation of Irish monks. Ö
The fishing flourished in the century 13 and the human population grew in the zones that surround the glacier. A church themselves contruyó in the hill of Ingjaldshóll before 1200 AD. The size of the church is a witness of the important population of nearby towns, at least during the season of fishing. The rich fishing grounds were built where there was a good access to the open sea. Dritvík is one of the best-known examples. Was one of the greater stations of fishing in Iceland during a time, with 40-60 ships and 200-600 people that work there. The fishing diminished in the peninsula of SnæFellsnes Gufuskálavöruring in the century 19 due to the changes in the techniques of fishing.
The villages that are found near the National Park includes Hellissandur, Rif and Ólafsvík. All they were shopping centers and of fishing.

The last eruption was very large, covering the north half of the Peninsula of SnæFellsnes and being carried great part of the Fjords of the West.

Europe by being a continent with countries of small areas is very common that a single sea cover the coasts of various of them. This helps a lot to the commerce among different nations, that are benefited of the natural resources of that geographical area. Or if themselves not the case is given that enjoyed this sea of great biodiversity, then their water will serve as way of free access among the coasts of the countries with which they abut.

Mediterranean sea: The intercontinental Sea
It surrounded by heavenly bays of three continents, the Mediterranean Sea gives the impression to be the private spa of the inhabitants of said areas. Among the southern zone of Europe, the West of Asia and the African north are found this water and they conform the largest interior sea of the world.
The Mediterranean Sea, belonging to the Atlantic Ocean, communicates to the water of the Red Sea and the Black Sea by straits and diverse channels of that part of the global geography.
Literally, and in various languages, signifies “sea in the middle of the lands”, which is a just denomination by its location in the map.
This sea, old from times, has been navigated powerful populations or empires as the Phoenicians, Roman and, also, Greek, who they believed that its water were the unique navigable in the world, when they surpass these through the Strait of the Gibraltar, where they believed to find only a current, they discover the immensity of the ocean. It would be able to say then that the Mediterranean was the sea only acquaintance of the Old Age.
The Mediterranean Sea is found in a zone of subtropic climates, what facilitates its tourism and enjoyment. All their climatic seasons are commodes, with a hot summer, a winter moderate and a rainy but not cold spring. This explains something of the why their coasts so are inhabited, some in a permanent way, of agricultural form and industrialized as of also tourist form.
Their biodiversity is one of their main characteristics, with their enormous fauna as an approximate one of 62 types of amphibians, 179 of reptiles, 184 of mammals, of which the majority they are endemic. Though the birds do not have that characteristic, also they are various in species, between stable and migratory, 150, like a figure reckoned. The flora that understands this zone is also important, comparable to the fauna, in which emphasizes the Mediterranean pine.
At present the Mediterranean Sea is threatened for attacks of the hand of the man, like the over-fishing or the contamination, also the excess is population in the seaboards, what brings as consequence the global warming-up by these zones.
Already it seems natural that the man destroy the natural beauties, gradually he happens in each spot that still he subsists in our land. If the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea still fails to extinguish is because is so rich that needs more than some as many evils intentions. Europe, Asia and Africa see to be united through its water, and is work of these 3 continents to protect it.

This reconstruction, with another material of the place, is found in the western part of the temple.
In the outskirts they are the remainders of dwellings of the Neolithic (fourth third millennium before Christ). Since the precinct of the temple there is magnificent views on the gulf Sarónico for the continent, from Athens to Tip Soúnion.
The Temple of Aphaia is to 13 kilometros / 8 miles to the east of the city of Aíyina. The highway that conducts her carries us through wooded part, built in part of mountainous land. In the first place we pass from the Church Áyii Theodóri, built from remainders of an old temple; note the fresh that date from 1289. After 8 kilometros / 5 miles we arrive at the old medieval capital of the island Palaeochóra (abandoned in 1800), with some 20 chapels of the 13-century 18. Over the medieval ruins of the Kastro are found, and more still the dispersion of houses Mesagró. Finally a steep route carries us to the temple. (To see Hotels in Greece)
