 jmpncsu Says:  Reynisfjara beach is a beautiful black sand beach under Reynisfjall mountain with beautiful basalt columns. We visited on our South Coast Tour with Iceland Guided Tours. And of all the great things we saw on our tours in Iceland, I think this was my favorite. In addition to... 

 melanief Says:  I toured the outdoor folk museum as well as the Communications Museum. The school and the folk museum were in founded in 1949. Sod farm houses have been restored and rebuilt on the museum grounds. The church is a replica of old country churches. The Communications Museum was... 

 seamandrew Says:  Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to stop and take the pictures I really wanted to take at this magnificent waterfall. After spending nearly 30 minutes at the Seljalandsfoss, my travel team decided we couldn't afford to spend more time here. So most of the pictures I... 

 amazingclick Says:  From Vik...you can go to this place called Dyrhólaey. It is a short drive from Vik from where you can see all the rocks whch Vik is essentially famous for. There are some great rock formations in the sea and some good views to see. If anyone has been to Australia, it is... 

 a5floor Says:  After you walked to the Reynisdrangur, you can have a walk on the beach. The sand of the beach is black and you will have incredible views. Unbelievable!!I had to bring this black sand to my Swiss penpal as she is a sand collector. 

 a5floor Says:  Just walk on the beach and there they are: the Reynisdrangur. The Reynisdrangur is a rock formation that is rising out of the water. They look like fingers coming out of the water. The highest 'finger' is 66 meter tall. It is great to see this massive rocks coming out of the... 

 melanief Says:  While visiting this area, I viewed the waterfall Skogafoss, you can hike up alongside the falls and get a great view from the top. After I viewed the falls and the museum, I traveled on to Vik where I enjoyed lamb chops for lunch. Very delicious! 

 melanief Says:  I grew up in Florida, and I am used to the sand on the beaches being a very pale color, so these black sand beaches were quite unique. I enjoyed just walking on the beach, I did not find any seashells like I would have in Florida. 

 melanief Says:  Yes, it was very cold! and yes, I was kinda crazy to do this, but I enjoyed it. There is a waterfall within walking distance to Seljalandsfoss that is unique in that it is sort of enclosed like a cave. You can walk into the cave area and view the falls coming over the edge... 

 melanief Says:  Seljalandsfoss very beautiful 130 feet high waterfall on the Seljalandsá River. There is path at the bottom of the cliff which enables you to walk behind the waterfall. The day I went, it was too windy and I would have gotten wet, so I did not go behind the falls. This fall...

 seamandrew Says:  Without a doubt, the number one thing to see in Vik is the Reynisdrangar rock pillars as they make the view out to sea quite spectacular. These pillars, the tallest of which is 66 m high, are an impressing remain of what was probably much taller pillars. Today, it's quite... 

 hat53 Says:  On the left side of the skogafoss there is a route to the top. To make it easy for you the last part is a stairway.On top you will have a nice view off the camping ground and you will get a felling of the height of the fall. On top it always looks higher than from down... 

 coceng Says:  Vik i Myrdal has a beautiful beach ! The broad, black sandy south-coast beaches are punctuated by craggy cliffs...pounded by heavy surf of North Atlantic Sea.As I was approaching the cliff, I had to tread over lots of pebbles ! So beautiful, glistening under the afternoon...
