An Elephant Emerges from a Cliff in Iceland

A little pareidolia? Maybe. However, it's rare when mother nature is able to sculpt with this level of detail. Down to the horizontal wrinkles in the trunk, and the shape of it's face and skull. The grey color of it's skin, and dark sunken eyes. It's even dipping it's trunk into the sea to take a drink!

This picture always seems to be included too at the places I have seen it, really cool.

Thanks for sharing. It's amazing what nature accomplishes.

WOW - that elephant totally looks like a rock!

Better than all those Mars pictures...

Awesome find!

But, wait, why aren't the mars-rock people here claiming it's a giant fossil? Or an advanced civilization that worshiped elephants? Right, because it's on Earth, therefore things like imagining rocks that look like things here on Earth is silly.

Dammit, cavtrooper, you beat me to it

Or it could be because it is here on earth where we can actually go see it and touch it in real life and it's not just a rover beaming pics back to us from another planet entirely.

One or the other....

To OP - Beautiful pic!! Thanks for sharing it. Nature always aims to impress and always succeeds.

That's amazing if it isn't photoshopped.

Luv the elephant OP.

Wow, the head is one thing , but the body as well? Incredible.
And a little baby elephant out in front of it ....

That picture is Mokuhooniki Rock (aka Elephant Rock) in Hawaii. The Elephant Rock in Iceland from the OP is on Heimaey Island.

Mind Blown ...
Herds of giant fossilised sea slurping mammoths !
Obviously flown here by Nasa , to lower rising sea levels !

Oh, I left out one pesky detail. This was actually taken on Mars. Liquid water, no surprise!
