Iceland - July 2014

Vík í Mýrdal is a small icelandic village situated along Hringvegur in the south region of Suðurland. The flat, black beach south of the village was declared one of the 10 most beautiful island beaches of the world by the Iceland Magazine.

Situated at the foot of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier covering the top of the volcano Katla, this small village is exposed to the risk of flooding in the event of a resumption of the eruptive activity from the volcano.

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.
