Book NowStory & Folklore
Lómagnúpur is one of Iceland's most recognisable mountain profiles — a near-vertical cliff face rising 767 metres directly from the black sand plain of Skeiðarársandur on the South Iceland coast. The cliff is formed from ancient Tertiary basalt, significantly older than most Icelandic volcanic rock. It stands alone on the flat outwash plain, which was formed by catastrophic glacial floods from Vatnajökull. The sudden appearance of this vertical wall above the flat sand, often with glaciers visible behind, is one of South Iceland's most dramatically photogenic scenes and one of the clearest illustrations of Iceland's violent geological history.
