Two large stone columns, 75 and 61 meters (230 and 200 feet) high, towering over their surroundings on the banks near Hellnar village, are Londrangar. These towers are considered ancient volcanic plugs that have withstood the forces of nature for tens of thousands of years. They withstood the wind, the forces of the ocean, and even the eruptions that pushed even more lava around them thousands of years ago. Londrangar located on the south side at the foot of the Snaefellsjokull volcano. A trail leads from the parking lot towards the coast, which we will follow to enjoy the breathtaking views of the cliffs, the ocean coast, and the colonies of seabirds that inhabit here in summer.

Once up to sixty fishing boats were based here and it was one of the most productive fishing stations on the peninsula, but today the bay is uninhabited. From the parking lot to the beach, the trail runs through a lava field with a mystical appearance and forms of solidified lava fragments. On the beach, you will find many large and small rounded stones and you can listen to the rustling of pebbles being rolled by the sea waves. You will also find on the beach the remains of the Grimsby Epine (GY7) fishing trawler that wrecked in 1948.
