Lóndrangar
Two basalt volcanic plugs, 75 and 61 metres tall, standing by the sea like a castle on the water. They are a landmark of the south coast.
Lóndrangar are two volcanic plugs left behind after waves eroded an ancient crater. The taller one, about 75 metres high, is known locally as 'the church', and in summer large numbers of fulmars and gulls nest here. A viewing platform beside the car park lets you walk along the cliff path about 1.5 km to the Malarrif Lighthouse, or view the stacks up close from the beach below. The site is within the national park and free to visit. Nearby, the Þúfubjarg bird cliff is also famous in the Bárður legend.
