Vík í Mýrdal and it's petrified trolls.

in #travel7 years ago (edited)


Or Vik in short, is the southernmost place in Iceland.
I've always been a fan of the movie "The piano", the beach scenes on the dark volcanic sands, so i was delighted to see these dark sands in Iceland.


Church of Vik.

Lying just a walk west of the town, you'll find the Reynisdrangar, 66 meter high basaltpillars.


These are told, were once trolls who petrified under the first rays of sun, when they tried to drag a ship on shore.


Another look at the black sands, the mist, Vik should be the rainiest place in Iceland.


And who knows, perhaps one day, i may even visit New-Zealand, said to be the southern counterpart of Iceland.
