Hvítserkur is a striking volcanic rock formation located on the Vatnsnes Peninsula in northwestern Iceland. Often referred to as the "Dragon" or "Troll" due to its unique shape, this impressive 15-meter tall basalt sea stack rises dramatically from the Atlantic Ocean, creating a stunning natural landmark. The name "Hvítserkur" translates to "White Shirt" in Icelandic, which is derived from the white bird droppings that often adorn its surface. The rock formation is said to resemble a giant troll that was turned to stone by sunlight, a popular tale in Icelandic folklore. This myth adds a layer of intrigue to the already mesmerizing landscape. Hvítserkur is located in a remote and rugged area, making it accessible for those willing to venture off the beaten path. The surrounding scenery features beautiful coastal views and expansive landscapes, making it a perfect spot for hiking and photography (above all during sunrise and suset). Hvítserkur is a symbol of Iceland's natural beauty and serves as a reminder of the powerful geological forces that have shaped the island over millennia.
