The largest rises to 75m (246ft) and the second to 61m (200ft). These columns were formed during the rapid cooling of lava flows: the remaining rock proved more resistant than the surrounding layers, which were gradually swept away by erosion.  <\/p>\n\n<p>We were impressed by the force of the waves breaking at their base.  <br\/>It can be difficult to understand the size of these stone giants in these photos, as reference points are lacking. But we can assure you that it&#8217;s impressive.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Londrangar\/i-2T3KK6J\/0\/LvgwVDFZhRcd3qsRmNXkDFfzdsSz2MmkS3bXPVdJT\/L\/londrangar%20l-L.jpg\" alt=\"L&#xF3;ndrangar in summer - View of L&#xF3;ndrangar\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basalt_formations\"><\/span>Basalt formations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Take time to observe the geological details from the platform. Just below, hexagonal basalt columns bear witness to the lava&#8217;s cooling process. As the surface of a flow cools, thermal contraction creates polygonal, mainly hexagonal, fractures that sink into the rock.  <\/p>\n\n<p>We noticed several different types of rock in the surrounding sea.

This ice-covered volcano rises to an altitude of 1446m and dominates the entire peninsula. It is famous for having inspired the novel &#8220;Journey to the Center of the Earth&#8221; by 19th-century French writer Jules Verne. In summer, its eternal snow contrasts with the green of the surrounding meadows.  <\/p>\n\n<p>An essential visual landmark to accompany your visit to L\u00f3ndrangar.<br\/>No photo, because for us the view was cloudy&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trail_to_Malarrif_lighthouse\"><\/span>Trail to Malarrif lighthouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>From the path, just before reaching the platform, the two rock pillars and the Malarrif lighthouse line up in the same field of vision. This vantage point makes for a fine photographic composition.

The soundscape can be striking, depending on the season: bird calls mingle with the crash of waves against rock.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Keep your eyes peeled, as Arctic foxes sometimes prowl the area in search of food.

The name &#8220;L\u00f3ndrangar&#8221; translates as &#8220;castle pillars&#8221;, and according to Icelandic folklore, these formations are the petrified remains of an ancient fortress. The nearby hill of Svalthufa, also known as \u00de\u00fafubjarg, belongs to the region&#8217;s elves, according to the most superstitious locals. It was precisely at the foot of this cliff that the poet Kolbeinn J\u00f6klask\u00e1ld, a medieval Icelandic literary figure, is said to have had an encounter with the devil.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_nearby_attractions\"><\/span>Other nearby attractions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You can combine your visit to L\u00f3ndrangar with these nearby attractions:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malarrif and its visitor center in Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull National Park, just a few minutes&#8217; walk along the coastal path.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arnarstapi, a fishing village with remarkable coastal rock formations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vatnshellir, an underground lava cave open to guided tours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dj\u00fapal\u00f3nssandur, a black pebble beach bordered by volcanic cliffs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saxh\u00f3ll crater, accessible via a metal staircase offering a panoramic view of the coastline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Snaefellsnes\/Malarrif\/i-LtkWDmX\/1\/NRn7Jm2GKBjBX3Fn8xNvK7JDQ4FGNqj4BwLwtJK9v\/L\/Malarrif_Iceland-4972-L.jpg\" alt=\"Sn&#xE6;fellsj&#xF6;kull National Park Visitor Centre\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Information center near the lighthouse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#e4f3f6;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_titre gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px; margin-bottom:0px;\"><span>VISIT <\/span> <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Snaefellsnes<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_texte_0 gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns Element_box is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-snaefellsnes-attractions\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best attractions on the peninsula<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/where-to-stay-snaefellsnes-peninsula-best-hotels\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"1201\">Best hotels<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Itineraries: <a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/visit-1-day-snaefellsnes-itinerary\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 day <\/a>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/visit-snaefellsnes-2-days-itinerary\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3982\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 days <\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box-texte gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you climb the pillars of L\u00f3ndrangar?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Climbing the L\u00f3ndrangar is forbidden.
