Lóndrangar

Lóndrangar are two majestic basalt rock towers that rise from the coast in the western part of Iceland, on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. These dramatic rock formations are the remains of an ancient volcanic crater that has been gradually exposed by erosion. The tallest of the towers measures over 70 metres high, and their dark silhouette contrasts with the wild Atlantic waves and green cliffs full of nesting seabirds.

Lóndrangar is a popular spot for photographers and nature lovers alike – short hiking trails lead here and it is often possible to spot puffins or gulls circling the rocks. Locals consider Lóndrangar a sacred place – according to legend, elves and other hidden creatures reside here. The atmosphere of the place is strong, especially at sunset or when the sea mist rolls in.
