The Aflraunasteinar date back to the period when Djúpalónssandur and nearby Dritvík were major fishing centers from the 16th to 19th centuries. The stones were used as a practical strength test to determine whether individuals were capable of working as rowers on fishing boats. This tradition highlights the demanding physical nature of Iceland’s early fishing industry and remains an important cultural element preserved at the site today.
