Skellig Michael Attraction Tour Places
The Schellig Rocks: Beautiful Tourist Attraction
The Skellig rocks popularly known as Skellig Michael (which is also known as Great Skellig) and the little Skellig are the two towering pinnacles that rise from the Atlantic Ocean and are almost twelve kilometers west of the Ivereagh Peninsula in County Kerry. It is a site full of wilderness and also a designated nature reserve. On the top of the awe inspiring rock you will find remarkably preserved monastic settlement of the sixth century, the earliest reference of it dates back to the 1400 BC, when this place became as a haven for the people whose rights and beliefs were suppressed. Two lighthouses were built on the Skellig Michael, which establishes its importance in the Ireland’s maritime history. Small Skellig is one of the Ireland’s most renowned sites for being the home of more than twenty seven thousand pairs of gannets and is the second largest colony of seabirds in the world. The clouds on the top of the rocks, often give an impression that there are volcanic eruptions, but there is nothing volcanic about them. They were created of the Devonian Sandstone that runs through Kerry straight from the south-western headlands to the shores of Killarney’s lakes.
