On top of this cave being located in a secluded and not often visited black sand desert on Hjörleifshöfði mountain, what's even more interesting is that the entrance to it looks like the silhouette of Yoda from Star Wars. The big cherry on top is that this cave was featured in the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in the film’s opening scene.

You can easily get to this cave by car. It's a mere 15 km from Vík on the South Coast, so if you're in the area, stop by and check it out.
