Rockall, Granite rock in Outer Hebrides, United Kingdom.
The isolated granite formation rises 23 meters above the North Atlantic Ocean, located 354 kilometers west of Scotland's mainland.
The British government formally annexed Rockall in 1955, marking its territory with a brass plaque and raising the Union Flag.
The rock appears in Scottish Gaelic traditions under the name Rocabarraigh, connecting it to ancient maritime stories.
Access to Rockall requires specialized vessels capable of navigating strong ocean currents and managing difficult landing conditions.
Greenpeace activists occupied the rock for 42 days in 1997, declaring it an independent micro-nation named Waveland.
