The small peninsula, or promontory, Dyrhólaey (120m) is located on the south coast of Iceland, not far from Vík í Mýrdal. It is a former island of volcanic origin which is also known by the Icelandic word eyja meaning island. The view from up there is interesting: In the north, there is to be seen the big glacier Mýrdalsjökull. In the east, the black lava columns of the Reynisdrangar are coming out of the sea, to the west the whole coastline in the direction of Selfoss can be seen - depending on weather conditions. In front of the peninsula, there is a gigantic black arch of lava standing in the sea which gave the peninsula its name (meaning: the island with the hill door).
