Hasselwood Rock, Rock formation in Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

Hasselwood Rock stands one meter above sea level with a diameter of 13 meters in the North Atlantic Ocean near Rockall.

In 1904, the Danish merchant ship SS Norge struck Hasselwood Rock during dense fog, leading to the loss of 635 passengers and crew members.

The rock formation represents a significant maritime navigation point for vessels traversing the North Atlantic waters between Scotland and Iceland.

The rock formation submerges during high tide and rough seas, making it visible only through breaking waves across its surface.

This volcanic remnant forms part of the Rockall Plateau, marking one of the few surface points emerging from the underwater geological formation.
