Elephant Rock - Iceland's Unique Geological Wonder

Sightseeing

Message from Dani Guindo

Halldórsskora, also known as Elephant Rock, is a quirky rock formation on the island of Heimaey in Iceland that looks like an elephant's head. Shaped by volcanic eruptions and resembling wrinkled elephant skin, this geological oddity can only be reached by a one-hour boat tour. Visitors to the island can also explore other fascinating volcanic formations and enjoy watching the diverse bird population, including the largest puffin colony in the world. It's definitely a must-see for nature lovers and anyone looking for a unique photo op!
