Um Mormónapollur

A historic baptism site beside Herjólfsdalur on Heimaey, associated with Iceland's early Mormon community in the 19th century.

Mormon missionary activity reached Vestmannaeyjar in 1851, and Mormónapollur became one of the places used for baptisms. Some Icelandic converts later emigrated to Utah. A memorial was erected by the lagoon in 2000 in recognition of this chapter of Icelandic migration and religious history.
