Yoda Cave
Hjörleifshöfði¹ is a 222m palagonite inselberg in southern Iceland.
Of volcanic origin, it used to be an island surrounded by sea. At the time of the settlement of Iceland it was connected to the mainland. Later, jökulhlaups (volcanic floods) from the eruptions of Katla deposited so much material that the surface was raised above sea level.
You can see why it's called the Yoda Cave!
