Bogarvirki means “the citadel” in French. It is an important place in Icelandic history. The natural formation of basalt columns served as a defensive fortification during the early years of Iceland's colonization. Ruins of habitats are still visible. Besides the historic and legendary aspect of the place, what impresses is the view. In good weather, the site offers a truly remarkable 360-degree panorama.
