Beautiful spectacular cliffs near Portmagee along the "Skelling ring" from the Wild Atlantic Way. For me they are just as beautiful as the famous cliffs of Moher.
Steep cliffs loom on the west side of Vifilsfell. The mountain is another of Icelandland's volcanic mountains that formed beneath a thick icecap. This hyaloclastite mound ( tuya) is capped with pillow lava and the boundary can be clearly seen in the cliffs. Vifilsfell, also called Vifilfell, rises 655 meters (2,149 feet) above sea level and marks the northern end of the Bláfjöll (Blue Mountain Range) east of ReykjavÃk. It is thought to be named after Ingólfur Arnarson’s slave, VÃfill, who is said to have regularly hiked up the mountain in order to try and forecast the weather. Arnarson, one of the first permenant Norse settlers in Iceland, built his homestead in and gave name to ReykjavÃk in 874.

"In several resorts, such as Folkestone and Southend, the cliff railway has had an historical relationship with the town pier. This is especially true in the case of Saltburn, where the railway's close proximity to Saltburn Pier makes it seem almost like an extension. When the pier was constructed in 1869, the high cliff acted a s a barrier between the town and the shoreline, threatening the commercial success of the resort. The original solution was a vertical lift, which remained operational until 1883; it was demolished for the construction of a cliff railway."
Standley Chasm, a narrow gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges, located 50 km west of Alice Springs, Australia.
When I arrived there, the sun unfortunately disappeared behind the clouds, but the red colour of the cliffs was still very impressive.

These cliffs really tower over your head while standing in the Rio Grande. Here's a video of my Big Bend experience and a little look at life behind the lens: Big Bend National Park Video

Three Cliffs Bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill is a large stream which flows into the sea in the middle of the bay. Individual beaches make up the bay, they have their own names, including Pobbles Bay to the east of the Three Cliffs, and Tor Bay to the west. The beaches are separated at high tide but are accessible to each other at low tide on foot over the sands.
Morning light bathing the steep cliffs along the Cape Jogasaki coastline (Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan). These cliffs were formed when a lava flow from approx. 4,000 years ago struck the seawater surface and cooled creating columnar joints.
An der Algarve gab es Fischer, die von den Klippen aus ihre Angeln ausgelegt haben. Dabei befanden Sie sich oft bis zu 60m über dem Wasserspiegel.

Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs
Uniquely-formed remnants of ancient basalt volcanic dikes sticking out from the sea.
Londrangar and the hill Svalthufa are the remains of a crater, which has been eroded to its present form by the sea.
The farmers in the area never made or make hay on the hill, because it is said to belong to the elves living in the area.
Younger lava fields surround this old crater ruin. The higher pillar (75m) was first climbed in 1735 and the lower (61 m) in 1938.
Below the hill you may find Thufubjarg cliff where according to a folktale the poet Kolbeinn Joklaskald had an encounter with the Devil.
On these cliffs, puffins and fulmars have their nests.
