The village of Vík or Vík í Mýrdal 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) 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.
The terrain in Iceland is so rugged due to centuries of volcanic activity, this is where the US tested their lunar landing module that eventually drove on the moon!
Also because of Norse woodcutting and volcanic activity, there are virtually no trees on the island! There is one small "forest" that is a national reservation.
black volcanic beach, crashing waves, moody sky and lush green mossy hillside. phwoar this was tasty!

Massive thanks to Alex RabidBee for taking us on a drive to swim at the Farleigh River Swimming Club - lovely, lovely day in the beautiful cool water, 8 feet deep in the middle, gentle sloping places to play, and a weir to sit on - heaven!
