Nachricht von Isleifur Eli

Hvitserkur, also known as the Troll of Northwest Iceland, is a 15-meter-tall basalt rock stack jutting out from Húnaflói Bay. It's a popular spot for birdwatching and photographers, with seagulls, shags, and fulmars nesting on top. Legend has it that Hvítserkur was once a troll turned to stone by the sun while trying to tear down bells from a convent. Whether you believe the folklore or the scientific explanation of erosion shaping the rock, one thing's for sure - Hvítserkur is a unique and captivating sight worth checking out on your Icelandic adventure.
