As the name says, the rock looks like elephant. This is a naturally formed rock in Heimaey, Iceland. Heimaey is an Island in Iceland. Heimaey is the most populated island of Iceland. Iceland doesn't have any native people like the Americas or Greenland. People were migrated to Iceland from other continents. The first people to come to to Iceland were Celtic monks followed by the Vikings. In 1973, lava flow from nearby Eldfell destroyed half of the town and threatened to close off its harbor, its main income source. An operation to cool the advancing lava with sea water was successful in preventing the loss of the harbor.The 660 feet high volcano could potentially be the cause of the Elephant Rock and many other formations like it around the island.
