Reynisfjara

Ivar Hagendoorn -

With it's black volcanic sands and unique rock formations Reynisfjara black sand beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Iceland. Located just off the Ring Road near Vik it is also one of the most visited sites in Iceland. I didn't come for the beach though, but for the extraordinary basalt formations.

I'm glad I also took the standard "tourist" shot
