the most southern village in Iceland

The black basalt sands of the beach at Vík, Iceland.

Druing the first part of the trip the boat didn't stop much. But after it got deeper into the fjord, it stopped at many idyllic little towns.

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

  

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 southeast of Reykjavík.

 

Despite its small size (291 inhabitants as of January 2011) 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.

 

In 1991, the American journal Islands Magazine counted this beach as one of the ten most beautiful beaches on Earth. Its stretch of black basalt sand is one of the wettest places in Iceland. The cliffs west of the beach are home to many seabirds, most notably puffins which burrow into the shallow soils during the nesting season. Offshore lie fingers of basalt rock (stacks) remnants of a once more extensive cliffline Reynisfjall now battered by the sea. There is no landmass between here and Antarctica and the Atlantic rollers can attack with full force. Folklore tells us that they are former trolls who tried to drag their boats out to sea only to be caught by the rising dawn. The sea around them is rather wild and stormy, so travelers will not be surprised to discover a monument to the memory of drowned seamen on the beach.

 

The village was affected by volcanic ash during the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull.

 

Vík lies directly beneath the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which itself is on top of the Katla volcano. Katla has not erupted since 1918, and this longer than typical repose period has led to speculation that an eruption may occur soon. An eruption of Katla could melt enough ice to trigger an enormous flash flood, potentially large enough to obliterate the entire town. The town's church, located high on a hill, is believed to be the only building that would survive such a flood .

Captured here around 10pm is the picturesque village of Vík í Mýrdal. Vik is the southernmost village in Iceland, located on Route 1 around 180 km (110 mi) southeast of Reykjavík, on the coast of the northern Atlantic Ocean. Home to several amazing sites that should top your list while visiting Iceland, Vik is a definite must see destination.

The village church, high up on a hill, was built in 1934.

Vik is a small town just off the Sognefjord, the largest fjord in Norway.

Vik Dinamite, Vittorio Marzioli all’anagrafe, insieme ai Doctors of Jive regaleranno al pubblico uno spettacolo nello spettacolo, ricco di novità.

Lo show sarà una grande festa con tanti ospiti e un repertorio rinnovato.

Il gruppo Jive non proporrà solo rivisitazioni dei più grandi e amati swing americani e italiani da Fred Buscaglione a Frank Sinatra e Renato Carosone, a cui i Dottori del Jive imprimono, con ispirazione jazzistica, il loro personalissimo e inconfondibile ritmo shuffle.

 

Nel repertorio saranno compresi anche brani inediti del loro ultimo album “Guarda che Luna”, nato dall’incontro con il maestro Vince Tempera che, con la sua firma, ha impresso un tratto distintivo di assoluta originalità ad ogni pezzo, dando una nuova intesa musicale.

 

Un’intesa musicale che coinvolge il pubblico, in ogni occasione, grazie anche alla frizzante irriverenza e all’innata capacità di tenere il palco del frontman dei Doctors of Jive.

 

Atmosfere noir, di whiskey, fumo e margarita, sul palco, Vik Dinamite, con la sua voce roca, elevata a originale cifra stilistica, è cantante ma anche mattatore in una serie di sketch gustosissimi che creano uno spettacolo nello spettacolo regalando al pubblico ore di ritmato divertimento.

 

Lo show, sempre fedele a se stesso, ma unico ad ogni occasione, alterna momenti “one man show” a momenti di grande coinvolgimento, dove tutti gli artisti sul palco danno vita a situazioni di collaudata complicità in grado di coinvolgere platee eterogenee, vera forza di ogni serata.

While staying with brendadadada, Vik and I got up before breakfast to have a swim. The sea was flat and still, we were the only people around - although heading back we passed a bus full of schoolchildren that nearly had the pleasure of watching us shriek at the cold...
