Kirkjugólf

Kirkjugólf, or ‘the church floor,’ is an 80 square meter expanse of columnar basalt stone slabs that slowly eroded when the sea covered the area. The hexagonal ‘tiles’ look like man-made flooring, but there has never been a church or any other building on the site. 

The protected natural monument is located just a few hundred meters east of the village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur.
