On the island of Heimaey off the southwestern coast of Iceland is a rock formation called Halldórsskora – “Elephant Rock”. That’s an appropriate name because, if you view it from the right angle, it gives the impression of an elephant dipping its trunk in the ocean for a drink.
Other viewers, the tourism website Guide to Iceland asserts, say that the formation looks like H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu rising from the depths of the abyss, his octopean head crashing through the surface of the ocean.
I like that interpretation better.
