Breathtaking Sea Elephant Rock Emerges From The Ocean In Iceland

Formation Of Elephant Rock The Elephant Rock is believed to have formed in one of the island's many volcanic eruptions but it considered especially active for such a popular living location. However, the last significant eruption was in 1973 and due to a full evacuation, the population has still not reached those numbers again. The elephant is a basalt rock structure and its texture adds even more authenticity as it resembles the skin of an elephant. Basalt is very common in Iceland. Some of the more famous ones are found in Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Svartifoss Waterfall and Gerðuberg on Snaefellsnes.
