Hvítserkur is a 15 m high basalt stack along the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes peninsula, in northwest Iceland.
The rock has two holes at the base, which give it the appearance of a dragon who is drinking. The base of the stack has been reinforced with concrete to protect its foundations from the sea.

What a fantastic rock formation! It does look like a dragon drinking water. The tones are so beautiful and powerful. The composition is superb, with the eye lead directly to the basalt stack. Magnificent! V

Fabulously dramatic image, Yiannis! But for me the rippled mud mounds steal the show!
