Hsaarik Head is a headland located at the extreme northern tip of Skyrim's Broken Cape, where the city of Winterhold is built upon.[1] According to tradition, it is where the last fleet from Atmora, under the command of Ysgramor, made landfall in Tamriel during the late Merethic Era.[2][3] Some believed that the resting place of Yngol, the son of Ysgramor, was located far below the rocky face of Hsaarik Head.[4][nb 1]

The headland was once much larger and more populated until the Great Collapse of 4E 122, when large portions of it fell into the Sea of Ghosts, taking entire city districts of Winterhold with it.[5][6]
