Formed from ancient sedimentary rock, these stacks are remnants of cliffs that have been gradually eroded by the powerful Atlantic Ocean.
One of the most famous sea stacks on Inishturk is known as "The Priest’s Hat," named for its distinctive shape that resembles a traditional clerical hat.
These sea stacks are also a haven for seabirds, providing nesting sites for species such as puffins, razorbills, and kittiwakes. The rich birdlife adds to the island's allure, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
They are a reminder of the island's wild beauty and the enduring power of nature.
