  • The famous black sand beach at Reynisfjara, Iceland. We visited on a stormy day to witness the power of the ocean at this spectacular location.
    This is often called the most dangerous beach in Iceland as it has 'sneaker waves' which come up at random and can drag people into the surf.
    The beach has a cave and sea-stacks with beautiful basalt columns and other volcanic rock formations. The sand is perfect black and the fierce winds scoured us with the sand - we were finding black sand in every orifice for days afterwards!
    There is a warning light system, which indicates no-go zones on the beach in the current weather conditions. We stayed within the designated amber area, per the days status. I can't imagine what the beach is like on a red warning!

    Really WILD! Great to see you so happy, and what a fantastic day amongst nature's fury! You still manage informative, educational and witty content even on an adrenaline busting beach! Super little film again (despite the poor viz)! 👌

      Various movie / tv scenes were filmed in in Iceland because of the amazing geology.

    Is there a weight limit to walk there ? tiny or skinny people would be blown away, not to mention children and dogs.

      Now that you mention it - it was only big adult people there. The small ones must’ve decided it’s not worth the risk!

    The wind in Iceland (and in the Faroe Islands) is unlike any wind I've ever experienced before.
