迪尔霍拉埃——海上石拱

Background

History & Background

The name Dyrhólaey means 'Door Hill Island' referring to the massive sea arch cut through the volcanic rock promontory. The arch stands about 120 meters tall and was formed by wave erosion over millions of years. The site is a protected nature reserve and puffins nest in the cliffs from May to August each year. The lighthouse at the top of Dyrhólaey was built in 1910 and still operates today.
