message de Cate

Hvítserkur, 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, 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. Some say it looks like an elephant, others a rhino, and some even see a dragon or dinosaur. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of this unique rock formation along the eastern shore of Vatnsnes Peninsula.
