Reynisfjara, Black Sand Beach 🖤

Reynisfjara ranks sixth among Europe's top beaches. Its black sand, formed by volcanic activity, and striking basalt columns have attracted filmmakers and fans of series like Game of Thrones and Vikings. National Geographic also recognized its beauty.

However, caution is advised due to sneaker waves, making it one of Iceland's most dangerous spots. The beach uses a light system to indicate restricted zones for visitors' safety.

The DC-3 Plane Wreck,

📍Sólheimasandur, south coast of Iceland

The US Navy's Douglas R4D-8 crashed in Iceland on November 21st, 1973. Despite uncertain causes, all seven crew members survived the icy landing.
Over time, harsh weather has deteriorated the wreckage, with parts missing. Its location on Sólheimasandur, prone to floods during glacial eruptions, means the wreck may not last forever.
