Vik es un pequeño pueblo al este del monte Reynisfjall (población: 300 habitantes). La distancia desde Reykjavik es de 186 km (115 millas) por la carretera principal y de 33 km (20 millas) desde Skogar. Vik es un centro de servicio para la comunidad agrícola del distrito y para los turistas de visita. La industria ligera, como los productos de lana, es otra importante actividad. Un gran número de fuerzas británicas y estadounidenses se establecieron aquí durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Desde lo alto del monte Reynisfjall se operaba una estación de Loran (Navegación de Larga Distancia). Este monte también es popular entro los ornitólogos. Pueden verse numerosas especies de aves durante el verano, como el charrán ártico, el mérgulo lorito y especialmente frailecillos. También pueden verse frailecillos en Dyrholaey, a algunos kilómetros hacia el oeste. El pueblo se encuentra directamente debajo del gran Myrdalsjokull. El glaciar cubre el volcán Katla. Katla es un volcán activo y atrasado. En el pasado, entraba en erupción cada 40 a 80 años, pero la última erupción fue en 1918. Los habitantes de Vik realizan frecuentes simulacros de evacuación frecuentes.
The village of Vík (or Vík í Mýrdal in full) is the southernmost village in Iceland, located on the main ring road around the island, around 180 km (110 mi) by road SSE of Reykjavík. Despite its small size (about 300 inhabitants) it is the largest settlement for some 70 km (43 mi) around and is an important staging post, thus it is indicated on road signs from a long distance away. It is an important service center for the inhabitants and visitors to the coastal strip between Skógar and the west edge of the Mýrdalssandur glacial outwash plain.
There are two important things in this picture. The lovely weather and most importantly: the glacier is no longer black.
Reynisdrangar are basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village Vík í Mýrdal, southern Iceland.
Legend says that the stacks originated when two trolls dragged a three-masted ship to land unsuccessfully and when daylight broke they became needles of rock.
Vík í Mýrdal is the southern most village in Iceland. It lies just by the sea but has no harbour. The village is protected from the sea by a sand beach, but lately the beach has been getting smaller so it looks like so measures will have to be made to save the village and better sooner then later.
In the background are the Reynisdrangar which are three black basalt columns, the hightest one reaching around 66 meters. Legend has it that the rocks are three trolls, caught out too late and frozen by the early morning sunlight.
Vik, Norway. In 1981 I was given my first proper camera for my 21st Birthday - a Ricoh 500g. All my family took slides, so I did the same as back then it was normal to meet up for a slide show. The film is Perutz as it had to be affordable. This set are not only my first serious attempt at photography but my first holiday abroad. Andrew.
