On Vatnsnes peninsula in North-West Iceland just off shore stands the majestic Hvitserkur, a 15 meter’s high monolith or seastack. It looks like an animal of some sort, an elephant or a rhino – or even a dinosaurs drinking. Sea ravens and fulmars live on Hvitserkur

More likely version is that Hvitserkur is actually a volcanic plug from a long time ago. The sea has eroded what was once a volcano, leaving only the plug behind. And even the volcanic plug was in danger of sea erosion and the base of it had to be strengthened with concrete.
