Reynisfjall is a 340 m high tuff mountain created by a volcanic eruption from beneath a glacier in the penultimate Ice Age, near the village of Vik. Alternating in an irregular fashion are layers of tuff, pillow lava and columnar basalt veins and loops.
Reynisdrangar stacks are a collection of 66 m high rock pillars rising from the sea and are of the same geological formation as Reynisfjall. On Reynisfjöru beach, very beautiful basalt formations can be seen in the southern part of the mountain, and there you will find an extraordinarily beautiful cave called Hálsanefshellir.
The waves here are deceptive and have led to the death of a number of visitors in recent years, even in the best weather. Be careful and keep a sufficient distance from the sea.
Buses full of tourists come and go there, waiting for hours for the right moment when there were no people on the basalt veins and black beach.
