The Elephant Rock is an impressive natural rock formation located in the Westman Islands archipelago off Iceland's South Coast. It's famous for its striking resemblance to an elephant with its trunk submerged in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as its likeness to H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic daemon Cthulhu. Visitors can marvel at this magnificent rock by taking a ferry to the Westman Islands, followed by a one-hour boat trip to view it. The rock was formed during numerous volcanic eruptions and basalt gives it an incredibly realistic appearance. The Elephant Rock is just one of many remarkable features to be found in the area, which also boasts beautiful birdlife and whale watching opportunities. Those who visit will never forget this unique experience!
