Reynisfjara Beach

BlobCarp

Incredibly beautiful beach with amazing cliffs, birds (Atlantic puffins) and rock formations. Nature at its best. Also a Game of Thrones filming location. Car park costs 1000isk (pay online) and there is a small cafe/restaurant.

Vik Town

JQKABBQ

Highlight 1: Black Sand Beach The black sand beach with huge waves is said to be the place where the trolls are sealed. In its dark series, there is also a gentle part that blends in with it, perhaps the red of the sunset. Walking on the beach, rubbing against the black sand and stone, making a "sand sound", even the goose soft stone is in the shape of love for you. I wait slowly and enjoy this process. The sunset sets in the west and falls on the coastline. The door to the island in the distance seems to be opened. The rolling waves, black sand and white foam, and the red sunset make this ancient lava flow pure and naturally formed columnar joints and natural Reynisfjara more mysterious. Highlight 2: Church The red-roofed church in the town is considered a landmark building in Vik. It is nearly 90 years old, but you can see its full view by climbing halfway up the mountain. It is backed by mountains and faces the sea. In the distance, you can also see Reynisfjara standing on the coast. Highlight 3: Dyrhólari The road leading to the top of the peninsula is quite bumpy, so drivers need to be careful to avoid it. At the end of the top platform is the Dyrhdlaeyjarviti lighthouse; there is also a coastal rock cape (a unique arched door) which is also called the island gate. It is a good place for bird watching in summer. Standing on the Dyrhólari peninsula facing the sea, you can overlook the Vik black sand beach and Reynisfjara on the left bank; on the right bank is an endless coastline

When you walk up to the observation deck, the charm of the feather canyon is unobstructed, and the canyon wall is vertically concave, forming a winding waterway, and the ripple is beautiful.

Kirkjubæjarklaustur

竞波

The town of Kirkjubjarklaustur (locally known as Klaustur Abbey) is a small town in the Skaftárhreppur district of southern Iceland with about 120 inhabitants. It is located on the roundabout road and about 250 km from the western capital Reykjavik, with fuel, shops, banks and supermarkets. Icelandic Kirkju means "church", bjar means village and town, klaustur means monastery. The suffix for Klaustur was added in 1186 AD and related to a nun at the time. The attractions here, including Systrastapi (Sister Stone), Systrafoss (Sister Waterfall) and Systravatn (Sister Lake), are also named after the nuns. Church town is a must-have for central Iceland. From here you can go to the Laki (Laki) crater in Vatnajökull (Watna National Park), or the scenic Landmannalaugar hiking line in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. Not far east of the town, there is the natural Kirkjugólfi (church floor). The town is surrounded by volcanic lava tundra.

Kerid Crater

Cherry_wyh

You can see many volcanoes in Iceland, this is relatively famous, you can walk around the entire crater on foot, and you can also walk directly to the lake in the crater through the stairs. The water is very clear and you can see the typical ash landform around.

Blue Lagoon

_M1***35

The venue is very large. Although there are many people, they are all scattered. In addition, the strong mist of the hot spring makes it difficult to see clearly one meter away. Overall, it is quiet and comfortable. There are large volcanic rocks before entering the Blue Lake, and the strangeness of the uninhabited area. After the hot spring, I saw a huge aurora.

Crashed DC 3 Plane

老王自由行

The plane wreckage is located near the small town of Vik in southern Iceland and is one of the must-see attractions in Iceland. There are two ways to get here: drive to the bus station, take a bus or walk to the wreckage site, and the other is to join an ATV riding group. We went there in winter and rode on the snow and waded through a small river. It felt great. The fee is a bit hehehe

Skógafoss

DEAR张小球

The Forest Falls is one of the many waterfalls in Iceland. The scenery is very beautiful. When we arrived, the weather was super good. The water vapor from the waterfall drew a particularly beautiful rainbow under the sunlight, which was very impressive.

Route 1

东张西望望东西

Route 1 is a must-go road to Iceland, basically grass-based along the way, the scenery is not special, but it is very interesting to see such a vibrant sight at the north end of the earth.
