Message from Olga Kuzmenko

Reynisfjara Beach, located on Iceland's South Coast near the village of Vik í Myrdal, is famous for its stunning black sand, towering basalt stacks, and folklore about trolls turned to stone. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and nesting seabirds like puffins and guillemots. However, it's important to be cautious of sneaker waves and rip currents that can pose dangers to unwary beachgoers.
