Ireland: The Skellig Islands

The Skellig Islands (Irish: Na Scealaga), once known as "the Skellocks", are two small, steep, and rocky islands lying west of Bolus Head on the Iveragh Peninsula in Ireland.

The islands are home to a large selection of sea birds including one of the world's largest Gannet colonies and the Atlantic Puffin. Skellig Michael, the larger of two islands is an UNESCO-WHS featuring early Christian monastic beehive nuts.
