You're standing on Skellig Michael, a steep crag in the Atlantic, almost twelve kilometres off the coast of County Kerry in Ireland. Have a look around: two peaks with a dip between them called Christ's Saddle. The island is named after the Archangel Michael, and the word skellig means something like a splinter of stone. Further off you'll see its little sister, Little Skellig. Nobody lands there.
