About Saxa
„Skammt frá eyðibýlinu Bæjarstöðum utan við Lönd er niður við sjó klettaskoran Saxa. Sérstakt náttúrufyrirbrigði, þar sem úthafsaldan gengur inn í klettaskoru og spýtist síðan hátt upp í loft í tilkomumiklum brimgosum. Nafnið mun vera af því dregið að þönglar og þari sem í gegn fara saxast í smátt.“
