One of the most beautiful attractions that tourists are keen to visit every time they go to Iceland is to visit Himai Island, which is famous for Elephant Island.
Himay Island is the largest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago and is also the only one within this inhabited archipelago.
The island has a population of only 4,500 people, but it receives 10 million tourists annually who seek unique adventures and the captivating beauty of nature.
The island is located in the bosom of Mount Fire, which includes the famous Eldeville Volcano, which activates every few decades to throw lava on the mountains, giving the lands around it a natural fertility of molten minerals.
The island is characterized by a giant rock formation resulting from the ancient lava in the form of a giant elephant or an extinct mammoth. This rock elephant appears as if it is coming out of the water with the tides in a scene that hijacks hearts and eyes.
Some may think that the climate of Iceland and Himai Island is cold due to its location in the North Atlantic Ocean near the North Pole, but it has a wonderful and mild climate in summer or winter due to the heat that the surrounding volcanoes and hot sparkling lakes have.
One of the most enjoyable moments for Icelanders is the two-hour polar twilight, where the sky turns pink or green in a way that is fantastically exciting … and this is the night of Iceland!
