Route description
Short walk on the Reynisfjara beach, an astonishing place (thanks to the sunny day!). Black sand is composed by volcanic ash and glacial sediments, but this is not its best feature.
On the shore there is a huge columnar basalt formation, the old lava flow created the classic Icelandic kirkjan lava cave, quite similar to the ones we saw at Hljodaklettar and Dimmuborgir. Two sea stacks stands from the sea but the best surprise is the puffins colony on the shore! Puffins kept flying to the see from the shore, really impressive!
The scenario is perfect for local brides looking for a suitable photo set but also for unusual guests on the basalt rocks.
