Hvítserkur

Hvítserkur is a unique 15-meter-tall basalt sea stack located off the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes Peninsula in North Iceland. The rock formation is also known as the 'drinking dragon' due to its shape, which resembles a dragon leaning down to drink from the ocean. Hvítserkur is not only a natural wonder but also a symbol of Iceland's deep connection between local folklore and its rugged landscapes. According to legend, the rock was once a troll who was turned to stone by the sun. The area is a sanctuary for wildlife, with large colonies of seals and hundreds of sea birds, making it a great spot for nature lovers and families to explore. Visitors can enjoy walking along the beach, spotting seals in their natural environment, and taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape
