This Rock Formation Looks Like an ElephantOn 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.-via My Modern Met | Photo: Wikimedia user Diego Delso#Iceland #geography #rockformations #elephants #apophenia

Anna Isabella’s Gorgeous Photos in IcelandIt was Anna Isabella’s first time in Iceland, and she spent the last four months in the country for her years-long self-portrait project. And boy, was she lucky being in the country, being able to witness the eruption of Reykjanes, and being able to take photos of the Northern Lights.“I can definitely say that no other place has inspired me more as a photographer,” she says in her documentary film about her experience. “During my time here, I’ve experienced more incredible things that I could ever hope for,” she continues.For Isabella, her photos express her love for nature and her connection to it.#Iceland #NorthernLights #Reykjanes #VolcanicEruption #Photography(Image Credit: Anna Isabella Photography via YouTube)
