Lóndrangar Basalt Pinnacles
Lóndrangar is a pair of ancient volcanic plugs rising dramatically from the sea on the southern coast of Snæfellsnes. The taller pinnacle reaches 75 m and the shorter 61 m. These basalt columns are remnants of a volcanic crater that has been eroded away by the sea over millions of years. The surrounding area has a viewing platform with sweeping views of Snæfellsjökull and the coastline, and is home to nesting fulmars, kittiwakes and ravens.
