Skellig Michael

Skellig Michael is an island 7.2 miles (11.6 km) west of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. Its landscape is steep and inhospitable, but it contains the site of a 6th century Gaelic monastery and serves as a habitat for puffins, razorbills and grey seals. The island is named after the archangel Michael, with "Skellig" derived from the Gaelic word sceilig, meaning a splinter of stone.
