Hvítserkur troll rock
Hvítserkur troll rock sits in the Húnaflói Bay, which is part of the coastline of the Vatnsnes peninsular in North Iceland. Hvítserkur has the appearance of a drinking dragon. It is an ancient volcano plug. It is possible to walk out to the troll rock at low tide.
The translation of Hvítserkur is “White Shirt”. All the sea bird shit which covers most of the rock give it its name. The masses of white shit give it its black and white appearance
Concrete has been used at base of Hvítserkur to protect it from erosion.

How to Find Hivtserkur
The area is accessible by a 30-kilometer-long dirt route that departs from the #1 ring road. The road is accessible to a typical car. This is uncomfortable and could be difficult in the winter. You descend to a parking lot via a signpost. You still can’t see the rock. There are two ways to reach the rock. You may see the rock from a height from a viewing platform reached by the main trail, which leads there. You descend to the beach along the rocky trail. The best photos are taken from this location, although it is difficult to ascend.
Landscape photographers love Hvítserkur. There are interesting geological feature around the Vatnsnes coast. On the sand flats it is sometimes possible to see wild seals, so it could be useful to have a telephoto lens. There is a very beautiful waterfall about 30 miles from Hvítserkur as well as a lot of horse farms.
North Iceland Tours and some of the Around Iceland tours may include Hvítserkur.
