Hvitserkur is a heavily promoted rock formation but is as grand as it seems in pictures. Well worth a visit but beware it requires a drive over unmade roads. It can be seen from a high viewing platform. The path down to Hvitserkur is steep and dangerous but there is another longer way via a nearby black sand beach which is interesting in its own right.

It is what it is, I suppose. Hvistserkur is basalt rock in Hunafloi Bay to check out about a half hour from Borgavirki. If you're wanting to check it out and have some time to travel down a gravel road, by all means it is an interesting site. If time is of the essence here, you're likely not going to miss a whole bunch. If this is of help to you making your decision, please consider a thanks :)

We weren’t going to bother going to Hvítserkur, but in the end we made the effort and I’m extremely happy we did. Not only is the formation impressive, it’s both weird and wonderful. There’s also a large seal colony a short walk away along the beach towards the estuary. The main colony is across a stretch of water, but we were lucky enough to have several young pups playing about and doing full jumps out of the water before deep diving. One became inquisitive and swam to within about 15 meters from us to have a really good look.
