Situated near the shore of Reynisfjara beach by the coastal village Vík on the South Coast of Iceland is Reynisdrangar, a series of breath-taking rock formations that rose over the ocean 18 million years ago. Also known as the “organ pipes”, the basalt sea stacks rise from the ocean 66 m into the sky.

Legend has it that two giant trolls once dragged a three-masted ship to land unsuccessfully. When daylight struck, the trolls were out of time and were turned into stone as a result and some locals swear that their cries and laments can still be heard from the shore. So, if you’re a troll and happen to be reading this, let that be a lesson to you.
