Reynisfjara: Black Beauty and Mystery on the Beach

Another spectacular destination on our journey is Reynisfjara, the Black Sand Beach.

It's one of the most beautiful black beaches, mesmerizing with its strength and incredible views. This is a place where you can see basalt columns with a special shape because of the way the lava cools. It is very rare to fi nd such long and solid basalt columns anywhere else in the world.

Katla Ice Cave and where is located?

Katla Ice Cave, located in southern Iceland, just 20 km from the town of Vík í Mýrdal, is truly unique. Positioned atop the Katla volcano, beneath Iceland's fourth-largest ice cap – Mýrdalsjökull – it's where ice and fire intertwine, creating extraordinary landscapes.

The Charm of Katla Ice Cave

What makes Katla Ice Cave exceptional is its unconventional location. Unlike traditional caves, it's not underground. The ice caves form as melting water from the glacier carves through the ice, creating hollow spaces within. This constant process results in the ever-changing appearance of the cave, adding charm to it.

One remarkable aspect is that Katla Ice Cave can be visited throughout the year, a rarity among Icelandic ice caves, which are typically accessible only in winter. This destination reveals its charms regardless of the season, making it unique among Icelandic attractions.
