Skellig Michael

Skellig Michael is an island of wonder and mystery, standing proud in the Atlantic Ocean like a lost and ancient pyramid. With its high peaks and very steep ledges, Skellig Michael is one of the most dramatic monasteries in the world. See the island through its long and textured past from its early Christian roots through to the time of the Vikings and further.


Skellig Michael is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island is a wonder of humanity, a testament to the strength, faith and determination of a small group of monks, who built a medieval monastery and lived out in the Atlantic Ocean against all the odds.


Every page in this book is a small discovery itself, as the book contains over 30 minutes of video and music, photographs, old maps, drawings, animations and a 3D model of the island. Discover, explore and enjoy Skellig Michael as if you were there yourself.
