Description
This is Londrangar, a pair of huge rock pinnacles in Iceland. They are volcanic plugs of basalt, that have been hew out from softer surrounding rock by erosion. They are located very close to Malarrif lighthouse and to Hellnar fishing village, on the southern coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula. Locals have given on these basaltic rocks the nickname of the rocky castle. You can understand why!
You should definitely not miss them if you are visiting the area. It is a well know tourist attraction and it is very easy to access. You just leave your car on the parking lot and you walk for a few minutes through fields of mossy lava up to the observation deck. The day we were there it was pretty sunny but I can imagine huge waves of the ocean crashing on the cliffs of the shore. During the summer, on these cliffs puffins have their nests.
