Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is a captivating landmark on Iceland's south coast. The beach is renowned for its striking black sand, which leaves no residue on your hands. Surrounded by towering sea stacks, the beach is further enhanced by the roaring Atlantic waves and powerful surf that crash against the cliffs with a thunderous sound! Due to the unpredictable waves, it is advised to exercise caution when approaching the shoreline. The contrast between the black sand and the crashing white waves creates a stunning visual effect. The nearby sea stacks add a touch of mystery, making it a favorite among photographers and nature enthusiasts. Despite its beauty, visitors should respect the powerful ocean and adhere to safety guidelines.

One of the most beautiful and distinctive places in Iceland. It is considered one of the most dangerous beaches in Europe, and it truly lives up to this reputation. The cave, featuring basalt columns, can only be visited during low tide, with signs indicating whether it is safe. This cave offers a unique geological perspective on Iceland's volcanic history. The ethereal experience created through the cave's opening makes it an ideal choice for those looking to explore Iceland's pristine beauty. It is also a popular spot for bird watching, especially during the nesting season when many birds are chirping on the cliffs, making it very special. Absolutely worth a visit!

A beautiful but less touristy black sand beach in Vik. The day we went it was deserted and it looked like not many people visited or knew about this place. There are beautiful rock formations and black sand, as well as a large colony of puffins. While the more famous Black Sand Beach has basalt columns, this beach has no tourists or tour buses, making it one of our two favorite beaches in Iceland. It's all so peaceful and beautiful, definitely worth a visit - especially if you enjoy beach walks and puffins. #beach #iceland #vik #beachwalk #birdwatching #quietplace

It's just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful❗️❗️ 📝 Tips: Later, I learned that the ice diamonds 💎 are not naturally frozen in the sea but are parts of the Vatnajökull glacier that have broken off, sculpted by seawater, and washed ashore 🏝. 🚗 Transportation: All the sights mentioned below are along Iceland's Route 1, the scenery is really nice, and the route is simple. 📍 Seljalandsfoss Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It can be said to be the representative waterfall of Iceland 🇮🇸, a true water curtain cave 💦.

Be sure to wear waterproof clothes, pants, and shoes! 🌂 📍 Skogafoss Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of the three major waterfalls in the Golden Circle 🔱, this waterfall is also called the 'Rainbow Waterfall' 🌈 because you can often see rainbows when the sun ☀️ is out.

It's also a filming location for many movies 🎬, such as 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and 'Game of Thrones', where Jon Snow and Daenerys 🐉 kiss at the Northern Waterfall! 💕💕 🚗 Transportation: It's about a 40-minute drive from Seljalandsfoss. 📍 Black Sand Beach Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Listed as one of the world's top ten most beautiful beaches by the American 🇺🇸 'Islands Magazine' 🤩, the endless black ◼️ is pure and transparent, silent, lonely, and free.

If it weren't for the light, the silence here would be terrifying. Scattered across the entire black sand beach are large and small chunks of ice, like giant diamonds. It's bone-chillingly cold to move among them, the ground is black, and the sea is deep blue in the distance. The sunlight filtering through the ice cracks and the people passing by in motorboats carry the glimmer of hope for the entire black sand beach. The shock brought by natural scenic spots is still highly recommended for everyone to see. Remember to take a photo with a diamond-like ice piece~

I showed you some pictures of beautiful beaches in the last posts. I have to admit: I prefer those black sand beaches over everything else! When you walk on this black volcano sand you can just feel nature and the power. I also like the contrast of the blue water and the black sand beaches. Have you ever visited one of those? :) Cant wait to see them again in real life. But for now: quarantine time! . . #iceland #wheniniceland #visiticeland #traveliceland #travel #travel #landscape #photography #awesomepic

Just a short stroll at the Black Sand Beach in Vik (Iceland), an unforgettable experience

Reynisdrangar, a famous tourist attraction in Iceland, is a strangely shaped volcanic rock that is naturally formed. It is a strange thing that is caused by nature, so many people want to visit this place. It is considered a highlight tourist spot in Iceland. It is located on the black sand beach near the city of Vik. You can travel to this area by renting a car, which is the most convenient. Although Iceland has a shuttle bus service, the bus takes a very long time, making it very inconvenient to travel. This area has a large, convenient parking lot. There is no parking fee, but there are a lot of cars. It may be a bit difficult to find a parking spot. Anyone who comes to visit Iceland must not miss it. #iceland #reynisdrangar #vik #akudy #familytrip #blacksandbeach
