Risin and Kellingin are two legendary sea stacks off the northern coast of Eysturoy Island in the Faroe Islands. Standing at 71m and 68m tall, these towering rock formations are best viewed from Tjørnuvík on Streymoy Island. According to Faroese folklore, they represent a giant and a witch who turned to stone while trying to steal the islands. Kellingin, with its narrow base, faces erosion and may collapse in the future. A must-see for nature lovers, these sea stacks offer stunning views and are popular for photography and boat tours.
