Vesturhorn Sunset

Batman mountain.

At 454 m high, Vesturhorn (also spelled Vestrahorn) is a gabbro with steep cliffs (see Living Earth – Outline of the Geology of Iceland by Ari Trausti Guðmundsson, published by Forlagið, Reykjavík, 2013). It is often called “Batman Mountain” (see second image below).

The sunset at Stokksnes last week was memorable. This headland in southeast Iceland served as a base for a radar station operated by the United States military during the Cold War.
