The world-famous Reynisfjara shore, near the village Vik in Taken before the setting sun at Myrdalur on Iceland's South Coast, widely regarded as the most impressive black-sand beach in Iceland.
Reynisfjara is a black pebble beach and features an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns resembling a rocky step pyramid, which is called Gardar. Out in the sea are the spectacularly shaped basalt sea stacks Reynisdrangar. The area has a rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots.
The waves at Reynisfjara are especially strong and unpredictable.
According to folklore, two trolls attempted to drag a ship to land but were turned to stone as daylight broke, turning them into the Reynisdrangar stacks, clearly visible from the beach.*

Ubicada en lo alto de una pequeña montaña, la iglesia de Vik, parece vigilar desde arriba las formaciones rocosas que parecen surgir del agua en la cercana costa. Y debe hacerlo, porque según la tradición son trols que tuvieron el infortunio de quedar atrapados en ese lugar, petrificados por la luz del sol, así que más vale que siga teniéndolos vigilados por si un día vuelven a la vida.
Leyendas aparte, esta preciosa iglesia de los años 30, de formas rectas y de un blanco inmaculado, fue diseñada por uno de los primeros arquitectos islandeses, Samúelsson y levantada por un hábil carpintero local.
