Iceland Plane Wreck|Post-apocalyptic Blockbuster in a Rainy Day

Sólheimasandur (Coordinates: 63.459523, -19.364619) 🚗 Parking only in the lot, 3.5 km walk one way (about 50 minutes) ⏳ Recommended stay time: 2 hours ✨ Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This lonely DC-3 plane wreck is an "alien relic" left behind by a forced landing of the US military in 1973✈️ After the US military recovered key parts, only this metal wreck quietly lies on the black sand beach, resembling a scene from a sci-fi movie🎥 🌧️ Tips for visiting: 1️⃣ Be sure to go early! Fewer people in the morning for better shots 2️⃣ Open all year round, but cloudy days have a more atmospheric feel 3️⃣ The wreck is old and deteriorated, so pay attention to safety 📸 Photography guide: ✔️ Capture wide shots to show desolation ✔️ Get close to shoot the rust details ✔️ Models wearing bright-colored clothes stand out more ✔️ Rainy weather naturally adds a cinematic filter 🌪️ The black sand beach here + gloomy sky can instantly create a post-apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster vibe! It’s recommended to bring windproof and waterproof gear~

Crashed DC 3 Plane

#November Good Places 2025 The Solheimasandur Plane Wreck in Iceland is definitely the most feel-like photo spot on the south coast of Iceland! 🔥 The DC-3 plane lies rusty and ramshackle on a large black sandy beach in Sólheimasandur, surrounded by super paleness, with rough aircraft metal hitting the black earth for a super strong visual contrast - it really looks like an apocalyptic scene from a science fiction movie, with great taste for photography! Whether it's blue sky and white clouds or Iceland's famous gray sky, the whole picture has a unique beauty, as if time has stopped, experiencing the ruthlessness and power of nature💀🌪 Before leaving, I was worried about whether it would be boring, because I just saw a plane wreckage + endless black beach, but when I went to the scene, I completely understood why so many photographers love it here. Having stepped on Solheimasandur Black Beach in person, I genuinely feel that this place is the closest corner to the end of the world that I have ever walked in my life! 📸✨ [Solheimasandur Plane Wreck Basic Information] Address: Solheimasandur Beach, 871 Vik, Iceland Access: It can be reached by car from Reykjavik in about 2.5 hours and takes about 4 km on foot (round trip takes about 2 hours) Opening Hours: Open year-round, however be aware of weather and safety during fall and winter months Tip: Remember to wear windproof and warm, bring water and snacks, there are no shops on the black beach, and be safe and don’t climb plane wreckage! Great for photography, profound travel, November to Iceland, this must be added to the itinerary list! 💯
