    On the south coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula are two natural volcanic vents, the Lóndrangar. In the vernacular, the high chimney is called the "Christian pillar" and the smaller "pagan pillar". There are two car parks, east or west of the chimneys, and are easily accessed via a coastal path.

      Two natural rock towers made of volcanic basalt rock by the sea.

        Here you are closest to the "fortress" of Lóndrangar. It consists of two stone columns that rise from the sea on the south side of the peninsula. The largest is 75 m high, the smallest 61 m. They are the remains of a volcano, which was washed away by the seawater. The coast here is also interesting for bird watchers because of the bird rock þúfubjarg.
