Drangarnir, Sea stacks formation between Vágar Island and Tindholmur, Faroe Islands

Drangarnir is a pair of basalt sea stacks rising from the North Atlantic between Tindhólmur and Vágar, reaching 70 metres at most. The larger, Stóri Drangur, forms a natural sea arch at its base through which the water passes; the smaller is Lítli Drangur. Grass covers the lower slopes and the jagged upper edge of the dark grey and brown rock.

Drangarnir is formed of basalt of volcanic origin, the rock type characteristic of the Faroe Islands. The two sea stacks rise from the North Atlantic between Tindhólmur and Vágar to a maximum height of 70 metres, and the Atlantic has eroded the larger one, Stóri Drangur, into a natural arch.

Local inhabitants named the formations Stóri Drangur and Lítli Drangur, meaning Large Sea Stack and Small Sea Stack in the Faroese language respectively.

To see Drangarnir, you need to book a guided boat tour departing from Sørvágur village, with trips depending on weather conditions. Plan time for travel and check the season, as rough conditions often prevent tours from operating.

Stóri Drangur's arch appears in the 2010 animated film How to Train Your Dragon, where Hiccup flies his dragon Toothless beneath a sea arch modelled on it. In the 2025 live-action remake, the pair fly under the real Drangarnir.
