Dyrhólaey (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈtɪrˌhouːlaˌeiː], "door hill island"), formerly known by seamen as Cape Portland, is a small promontory located on the south coast of Iceland, not far from the village Vík. It was formerly an island of volcanic origin, which is also known by the Icelandic word eyja [ˈeiːja] meaning island. The volcano erupted about 100 thousand years ago during the Pleistocene. The peninsula has an elevation of 120 metres (390 ft), and the Dyrhólaey Lighthouse sits at the top of the formation facing the sea.

  • Il promontorio di Dyrhólaey si trova lungo la costa meridionale dell'Islanda, non lontano da Vík í Mýrdal. Le sue scogliere sono ripide e, nella zona occidentale, arrivano ad un'altezza massima di 115 m.. Il panorama è maestoso, con il ghiacciaio Mýrdalsjökull a nord e le colonne di lava nera del Reynisdrangar che scendono fino in mare, mentre ad ovest la costa si estende in direzione di Selfoss.La zona è nota tra gli appassionati di birdwatching per l'importante popolazione di pulcinella di mare che nidificano proprio sulle scogliere di Dyrhólaey durante la breve estate nordica.

  • Dyrhólaey is een berg van tufsteen in het zuiden van IJsland. Dyrhólaey betekent zoiets als eiland met een deurgat. Tegenwoordig is Dyrhólaey geen eiland meer, maar ten tijde van de kolonisatie van IJsland was Dyrhólaey dat wel. Tijdens de laatste ijstijd was IJsland geheel met ijs bedekt en door de gigantische druk werd IJsland letterlijk de grond in gedrukt. Bij het verdwijnen van het ijs nam de druk af en rijst IJsland nog steeds langzaam omhoog. Daardoor was Dyrhólaey ten tijde van de kolonisatie nog een eiland, nu is het een klif aan zee. (nl)
