The story says that this cliff once was a troll woman. This woman, along with two other trolls, had a dream of making the Westfjords an island. The tree of them started digging, one from the east and two from the west. The digging went well at first and the fjords became deeper and the landstrip shorter. When it was dawn and the Westfjords were still not an island the trolles aborted their mission and tried to find shelter for the sun. The two you can find near the beach in Kollafjörður and the third one is situated in Drangsnes. When the troll woman realized that she couldn’t find shelter she used all her strength that she had left to make one island outside Drangsnes. This island is now known to the world as Grímsey Island.
