Skellig
Islands
Skellig Michael is a rock island located
some 15 kilometres off the Kerry coast. One of Ireland’s
three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this spectacular peak is
home to tens of thousands of seabirds, among them; fulmars,
gannets, guillemots, manx shearwaters, puffins, razorbills,
guillemots, storm petrels, gannets and more.
It is also the
site of the most dramatic early Christian hermitages
on Earth.
George Bernard Shaw, writing in 1910:
"But for the magic that takes you out far out
of this time and this world, there is Skellig Michael ten miles
off the Kerry coast, shooting straight up seven hundred feet
sheer out of the Atlantic. Whoever has not stood in the grave-yard
on the summit of that cliff among the beehive dwellings and beehive
oratory does not
know Ireland through and through ".
