Halldorsskora Gorge
About the place
On the southern coast of Heimaey, largest of the Westman Islands, a black basalt headland has weathered into the shape of an elephant lowering its trunk to the sea. The rock was carved by the same volcanism that built the whole archipelago. Because the cliff rises straight from the water, the fullest view is from the sea; from land you look across to it from the cliffs above the golf course.
