Saga og þjóðsögur
Hvítserkur — 'White Shirt' — is a 15-metre basalt sea stack on the eastern shore of Húnaflói bay, famously resembling (depending on your imagination) a drinking dinosaur, elephant or dragon. Two natural arches at the base have been bored by wave action through the volcanic rock. Artificial concrete supports were added in 1985 to prevent collapse. The name refers to the white bird droppings from the gannet and kittiwake colony that nests on the ledges. The grey seals that haul out on the beach below are frequently photographed alongside the rock at low tide. Viewing platforms above the beach and a steep path down to the shore make Hvítserkur easily accessible from the Ring Road.
