The priest's bathtub is a sand volcanic formation, a so-called funnel sink, located just south of Vik's fishing village in Simrishamn municipality. The formation is probably a so-called sand volcano formed when an artesian spring has penetrated water on a seabed about 500 million years ago. Before the sand has hardened completely to stone, the volcanic cone has collapsed into itself. On Österlen there are about 100 such "bathtubs", but the only visible is this at Vik, which can therefore be studied in detail.
