The Dverghamrar Cliffs are a unique rock formation in South Iceland - a seemingly random spot of hexagonal basalt columns out of nowhere and a lot of fun for photography. The local myth and legend states the area is home to dwarfs who live within the rocks. This fascinating story ties together the unique beauty of the cliffs with the captivating tales of Iceland’s folklore.
