A big rock in the middle of a black sand beach by Hjörleifshöfði. A truly unique spot and the only way to realise how big it actually is is to make the 1.5km / 1 mile walk there and see or yourself. Be careful though, it can be easy to get lost if the fog rolls in or during a whiteout.

QUICK NOTES:

• What it is: A big rock formation in the middle of a vast black sand beach in south Iceland.

• Best season: Any (as long as you can make the drive to Hjörleifshöfði from the main road, can be bad if there's heavy snow or very wet ground).

• Best time of day: Any.

• Nice to know: The walk from the parking lot by Yoda Cave is around 1.5km / 1 mile. Do not attempt when the visibility is bad unless you're accompanied by a well equipped professional or someone who knows the area. It's easy to get lost when the fog rolls in or during whiteouts.
