Another Icelandic landscape, this one showing Hvítserkur, an old
volcanic injection of magma whose surrounding rock the ocean wore away.
Looks like some monstrous, literally stone age rhino to us.
2. Cliff Skull
Taken at Lake Cumberland in Kentucky, this skull-like face is apparently
one of many in the cliff face caused by naturally occurring decay and
erosion. One's enough, thank you very much.
3. Looking Out to Sea
Looking like an old man watching the sea, perhaps for signs of impending
doom, this photo was taken in Kilve Beach in Somerset, England, famous
for its fossils – of giants?
4. Face in Profile
This next profile of a rock face in a rock face is in Yosemite's famous
Taft Point. A stone giant grimly surveying his kingdom from 3500 feet up
while facing off with the big nose of El Capitan, opposite.
5. Gateway to Hell
The jets of hot steam and sulphurous gases known as fumaroles plus its
sterile, acidic ground give Iceland's Námaskarð pass the look of an
opening into the devil's own domain.
6. Straight out of Hell
What is it about Iceland that makes its landscape so creepy? Well those
solfatares emitting hot steam – in this photo near Myvatn – definitely
have something to answer for.
7. Icelandic Stone Trollsc
This snap is riddled with trolls, which according to Icelandic legend turn to stone in daylight. There's an obvious one, bottom right, but look closely and you'll see others. The ridge itself is like a sleeping giant.
