Elephant Rock is a natural rock formation on the Westman Islands archipelago, located approximately 7.4 kilometres off Iceland’s south coast. It fascinates visitors because it resembles the head of a giant elephant which has submerged half its trunk underwater in an attempt to quench its thirst with the Atlantic Ocean.
Many have pointed out the rock’s resemblance to H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic daemon Cthulhu, a monstrous sea creature with the face of an octopus. The likeness is complete with a cleft in the rock where the Lovecraftian creature’s eyes would be and the resulting shadow bestows an eerie and lifelike quality upon its face. Fundamental to the rock’s realistic appearance is the fact that it’s entirely made from basalt, but this makes the “skin“ of the creature appear wrinkled.
