About Skellig Michael
Skellig Michael is a twin-pinnacled crag 11. 6 kilometres west of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The island is named after the archangel Michael, while the word "Skellig" is derived from the Gaelic sceilig, meaning a splinter of stone. Its twin island, Little Skellig, is smaller and inaccessible.
