Londrangar is a stunning geological formation located on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland. It consists of two towering basalt sea stacks that rise dramatically from the ocean, reaching heights of up to 75 meters. This unique landscape is a popular destination for photographers, as it offers a range of opportunities to capture the beauty of Iceland's rugged coastline. From the black sand beach below to the surrounding cliffs and mountains, there are countless angles and perspectives to explore.

It was very windy, fortunately the cliffs on the right blocked most of the wind from West and so having a sharp long exposure wasn't impossible. While I don't like over-smoothed water, 40 seconds seemed to create the best patterns here.
Photo tips: Very wide angle lens are useful here in order to capture the nice cove below, which makes a nice leading curve to the cliffs in the distance.
Getting there: About 200m easy walk from parking right to the coast.
