Did you know that the only land south of Reynisfjara beach is Antarctica? That’s a lot of unobstructed space for the Atlantic currents to travel before crashing into the south coast of Iceland! Reynisfjara is without a doubt the most famous beach in all of Iceland, and on this windy winter morning, the waves came crashing with such power onto the black sand beach. From the beach you can see the Reynisdrangar sea stacks - these rock pillars are said to be petrified trolls that were caught outside at sunrise and frozen in time.
