Dyrhólaey and Reynisdrangar

Dyrhólaey is a 120-meter high promontory, a nature reserve, not far from the town of Vík. The place got its name from the massive arch that the sea has eroded from the headland. (The name literally means "door-hole"). When the sea is calm, big boats can sail through it. There has even been a maniacal daredevil pilot that flew through the arch with a small-craft airplane!  Off the shore are the Reynisdrangar pillars. Reynisdrangar can be seen clearly for Vík and are 66 meters above sea level at the highest.
