This natural rock formation with a 25 meter squared or 82 ft x 82 ft plateau stands 604 meters or 1,982 ft above the sea.

And the rock formation can also be enjoyed from the sea by boat. The main name of the rock formation is “Hyvlatonnå”.“Hyvlatonnå” means the tooth of a wood plane.Along the fjord there is a mild and humid coastal climate.
