Hvítserkur, a rock formation, really deserves the label natural wonder - how can it happen that something like this remains? It's 15 meters of Basalt, protruding out of the shore at the Icelandic peninsula Vatnsnes, let's say 100 meters in front of the cliff ... I also wonder about the name which means "white nightgown", but the only white thing there is bird shit ... Legend has it, that it is a petrified troll who tried to throw stones on the monastary Þingeyrar, but combined with a white nightgown that sounds more like Shrek than a monster ...
