This photos are from a few hours we spent at Reynisfjara, a black sand beach near Vík.
The place is famous for its rock stacks and the needles of rocks near the shore. The legend says they are trolls that were surprised by the sun while trying to bring a ship to land.

Vik is the southernmost village in Iceland and is also the wettest place in the country. Its beaches are composed of natural black sands and a unique feature of the beaches in Vik are the basalt column rising out from the sea, which are often rough due to the high winds in the North Atlantic.
A remarkable nearby feature is the beautiful black beach with the Reynisdrangar, black basalt 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.

Vik es el pueblo más meridional de Islandia y también el lugar más lluvioso
del país. Sus playas están compuestas de arenas negras naturales y uno de sus componentes más llamativos son las columnas de basalto volcánico que salen directamente del mar, y que son moldeadas por los fuertes vientos y mareas del Atlántico norte.
El conjunto más llamativo de estas columnas basálticas es de Reynisdrangar, visible desde la propia playa de Vik. Una leyenda popular cuenta que se trata de trolls, que han fueron cogidos por sorpresa por los primeros rayos de sol del amanecer.

Another one from a great display of light at Vík, south Iceland. The pinnacles seen are called Reynisdrangar. They have been eroded away from the mountain on the right by the powerful north Atlantic waves. The soft rock from which this old volcano is made from erodes quite quickly. It is basically a volcanic debris pressed solid by kilometer or two thick ice during a recent ice age.
The black sand is also made from volcanic debris eroded away by current glaciers in south Iceland and carried to the sea by rivers.

En Islande, La petite église de Vik haut perchée sous la beauté des aurores de l'hiver.
Cela lui donne un air encore plus "divin" avec ces fuyantes de lumières éphémères.

Islandia es un país con gran actividad volcánica y geológica
, factor que afecta en gran medida al paisaje del territorio islandés como podemos ver en la imagen . En ella observamos una de las playas de arena negra volcánica más hermosas de sus costas situada muy cerca del pueblo de Vik.
El interior del país consiste en una meseta caracterizada por desiertos, montañas y glaciares, mientras que muchos ríos glaciales fluyen hacia el mar a través de las tierras bajas.

The sea Stacks in Vik on a very very windy afternoon, we had snow, fog and rain that day. The cloud formations were too good not to take pictures off.
