Hundraðmannahellir (the Cave of a Hundred People), also locally known as the Cave by Hole 12, is not just any cave but a site of historical significance.
The name of the cave originates from a dramatic event during the Turkish invasion in 1627, when around 100 local residents hid here to escape Algerian pirates. Unfortunately, they were discovered and captured due to a dog they had brought with them, which alerted the pirates to their hiding place. The captured people were subsequently sold into slavery in Algeria.
You can find the Hundraðmannahellir cave on Heimaey island, right on the local golf course near hole 12.
