Anyone who parks a car in Arnarstapi by a huge stone troll has no idea what a fantastic rocky shore awaits him. At the foot of the volcano, Snæefell revealed a surf of volcanic chimneys in the form of pillars, caves and gates, whose lava solidified in the shape of hexagons. These rock formations provide ideal living conditions for colonies of various seabirds.
