About "Dyrholaey"

by Arnold van Wijk

About the artwork

Dyrholae means something like island with a doorway. Today, Dyrholaey is no longer an island, but at the time of Iceland's colonisation, Dyrholaey was. During the last ice age, Iceland was completely covered in ice and the gigantic pressure literally pushed Iceland into the ground. As the ice disappeared, the pressure decreased and Iceland was still slowly rising. As a result, Dyrholaey was still an island at the time of colonisation; now it is a cliff by the sea. In this 120-metre-high cliff is a hole in which the sea has free rein. By sailors, this hole is also called Portland. From Dyrhlaey, there is a view all around. To the east, the Reynisdrangar cliffs off the coast of Vík can be seen, to the north the Mrdalsjökull and to the west a distant view over the south coast of Iceland towards Selfoss. Many puffins nest on Dyrholaey. It has been a protected area since 1978.
