Lóndrangar Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the south coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula are two natural volcanic vents, the Lóndrangar. In the vernacular, the high chimney is called the "Christian pillar" and the smaller "pagan pillar". There are two car parks, east or west of the chimneys, and are easily accessed via a coastal path.

Thufubjarg Cliffs and Londrangar Sea Stacks

Highlight • Natural Monument

Lóndrangar consists of two stone columns that rise from the sea on the south side of the peninsula. The largest is 75 m high, the smallest 61 m. They are the remains of a volcano, which was washed away by the seawater. The coast here is also interesting for bird watchers because of the bird rock þúfubjarg.

Malariff Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

A small but nice visitor center. There are several exhibits about life on farms and in the fishing industry. You can try seaweed snacks and purchase a few souvenirs. A good stop, especially in bad weather.

The first mini hike today took us along the coast to the "elf library"📚 - two striking rocks (Londrangar) that look like a castle from afar. Many species of birds live on the rocks. 🐦🕊🦅🦤
We continued on to the lighthouse. 🗼The westernmost point had been reached. 🧭
It was storming heavily today. 🌬 🌬🌬
