Iceland is a land of volcanoes. Nowhere is （evident） than on the Westman Islands off the southern coast of Iceland. Here, （century） of volcanic eruptions formed many eye-catching sea cliffs （悬崖）, among one stands out: A part of the volcano-formed coast on Heimaey looks exactly like the head of a large elephant （stick）its trunk in the water.
In fact, it looks so much like an elephant that many people think it must have been shaped by humans. That is not case, however. The elephant's realistic （appear）is, at least partially, due to the fact that the cliff （consist）of a special rock. The rock gives the figure "skin" that looks wrinkled and gray, just like that of a real elephant.
The most common theory is that the rock formations came from the Eldfell Volcano, which （erupt）many times since the 1940s.
In spite of the strong resemblance to an elephant, some people （actual）see something different when they look at the rock formation. They see the fictional character Cthulhu, a sea beast.
Whether you see an elephant a fictional beast, as one of many attractions on Heimaey, the rock does draw curious sightseers.
