Reynisfjara Basalt Columns

The Reynisfjara black sand beach is one of the usual "touristy" stops on the south coast of Iceland. Here to see the basalt columns or the rocky sea stacks just off shore known as Reynisdranger it is certainly an amazing site! The site was also used in Game of Thrones season 7 in "North of the Wall". Local legend says the basalt columns were once trolls trying to pull ships from the ocean to shore. However, these trolls were dim and went out too late in the night; dawn broke on the horizon, turning the trolls into solid stone.
