Lóndrangar, Volcanic rock formation on Snæfellsnes peninsula, Iceland
The Lóndrangar formation consists of two basalt pillars rising from the coastline, with the taller reaching 75 meters and the shorter 61 meters in height.
The first recorded ascent of the higher basalt pillar occurred in 1735 when Ásgrímur Bergþórsson successfully climbed to its summit.
Local farmers have traditionally kept their distance from the fields surrounding Lóndrangar, respecting the belief that elves inhabit the rock formations.
Visitors can access the site through two entry points: a parking area 250 meters from the main viewpoint or the Gestastofa Visitor Center.
The remnants of an ancient volcanic crater, these basalt pillars have been sculpted over thousands of years by continuous ocean erosion.
