Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
Beautiful black sand beach, powerful waves, and the nearby Reynisdrangar sea stacks make Reynisfjara a truly unique place to visit and a popular filming location (Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Noah and more).
The Cave
Basalt
The most well-known volcanic rock found in Iceland is basalt, but there are at least 25 different types on the island.
Volcanic rock
Reynisfjara is located near a large volcano that erupted several times during the last thousand years.
They are formed when lava cools down quickly. As the effect of the sudden cooling, the rock starts to contract from the edges in symmetric, geometrical shapes.
Garðar columnar basalt formations
Reynisfjara is known as one of the most dangerous places in Iceland.
Always keep a safe distance from the water and never turn your back to the sea. Do not climb over the basalt columns.

Vík í Mýrdal
The village of Vík is the southernmost village in Iceland, located on the main ring road around the island.
Vík lies directly south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which itself is on top of the Katla volcano.
The town's church, located high on a hill, is believed to be the only building that would survive such a flood.
