Vik is the central town in the Katla ENESCO GLOBAL Geopark. Its the southernmost point of Iceland and is a fantastic location with its black sand beaches and rock columns rising out of the Atlantic Ocean. (These are the distant Sea stacks from a previous upload)
For those that love birds it also has a large number of Puffins and is one of the largest breeding grounds for the Arctic Tern. My favourite Bird :)
The village of Vík (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈviːk] (listen); or Vík í Mýrdal [ˈviːk iː ˈmirˌtaːl̥] 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 (750 inhabitants in Mýrdalshreppur as of January 2021[1]) it is the largest settlement for some 70 km (43 mi) around and is an important staging post, and thus it is indicated on road signs from a long distance away. It is an important service center for the inhabitants of and visitors to the coastal strip between Skógar and the west edge of the Mýrdalssandur glacial outwash plain.
Some of us went up to the church on the hill above Vik at sunrise, before the crowds and before heading further east. It was a stunning morning.
Going through old photos, heres a colour version of my previous mono effort. think i prefer this version now!
The fascinating landscape of Vík, with its black sand and rock formations in water.
Wind was beyond crazy on that day and I was literally grabbing the tripod and pressing it down into the sand with my weight to bring the long exposures home lol
This take has got a nicer sunny light, but I feel the composition is a bit weaker than the other one
The Sea Stacks at Vik on the southern coast of Iceland I captured this image shorty after sunrise on my way back from a very early start at Reynisfjara Beach watching the after glow of the Northern lights . Its a magical coastline 👌

An awe inspiring show of Aurora near Vik, in Iceland. This was just the beginning of what was the greatest light show i've ever seen.
