  I don’t recommend attempting the hike to the Solheimassandur wreck mid-winter as we did but it’s definitely worth the trek in the summer months. In total, the walk is typically about 45-minutes each way.

  Dritvík is a black sand beach located in Djúpalónssandur, which was once a bustling fishing village. Currently the area has no residents but the remains of the British trawler, Epine GY7 are a reminder of its history.

  Located alongside the village of Vik, Reynisfjara is known for its black sand and towering basalt rock formations jutting out of the ocean. Similar to other formations in Iceland, Icelandic folklore suggests these rock formations were once trolls now frozen in time.
