Black sand beach and stacks at Vik in South Iceland

The village Vík in the south of Iceland is indicated on road signs from a long distance (about 180 km from Reykjavík), despite its small size (about 300 inhabitants).

It is an important service center for the inhabitants and tourists around the Mýrdalsjökull glacier.

A remarkable feature is the beautiful black beach with the Reynisdrangar, black lava columns sculpted by the sea. A folk tale says that they are former trolls which were caught outside at 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 at the beach. The American journal Islands Magazine counted this beach as one of the ten most beautiful beaches on Earth in 1991.
