Message from Rannvá Joensen

Risin og Kellingin, also known as The Giant and the Witch, are two sea stacks off the coast of Eysturoy. Legend has it that they were turned to stone while trying to move the islands to Iceland. The Giant stands further from the coast at 71m, while the Witch is closer at 68m. Visitors can see them from Eiði or Tjørnuvík, but watch out for Kellingin - she might fall into the sea during a winter storm soon!
