Reynisdrangar basalt sentinels

The Reynisdrangar basalt stacks rise dramatically out of the sea in front of the black volcanic sands of Reynisfjara beach, below Reynisfjall, a 340 m high tuff mountain formed by a volcanic eruption under a glacier in the penultimate ice age near the village of Vik, Iceland. The Reynisdrangar stacks are a collection of 66m high rocks from the same geological formation as Reynisfjall.
Legend has it that the stacks were created when two trolls dragged a three-masted ship ashore unsuccessfully, and when daylight broke they became needles of rock.
