Wild Atlantic Way: Skellig Michael Island, 44 acres of jagged inhospitable rock, seen from tour boat; UNESCO World Heritage Site. #128023069
Description
Skellig Michael and its monastery are accessible by boat only between May and September due to winter storms. Those climbing the treacherous unprotected staircase to the monastery begin their journey near the small boat landing, where as seen here, Skellig Michael`s cragged pinnacles tower above the Atlantic Ocean. Skellig Michael Island and its ancient Christian monastery have been battered by centuries of relentless wild Atlantic storms. Located at the north-eastern summit of the island, the monastery was dedicated to St. Michael between 950 and 1050. Near Ring of Kerry. UNESCO World Heritage Sit.
