Fodor's Expert Review Kerling the Cliff

You have to know the story to truly appreciate this place: according to local lore, Kerling was a troll woman who, along with two other trolls, wanted to turn the Westfjords into an island. As they started digging, they realized they had nowhere to shelter from the sun as it rose. Kerling did not make it out of the sunlight in time, turned to stone, and sits here still in the form of this cliff. The troll women created many little islands behind them, one of which is known today as Grímsey.
