Iceland South Coast

Moving from ice and waterfalls to the sea I have here some pictures taken on the south coast of Iceland near the town of Vik. This little town of only around 400 inhabitants boasts a wild shore with beaches of black volcanic sand.
The strange sea stacks  are called the Reynisdrangur and round the headland to the east of Vik the beach at Reynisfjall has cliffs of basalt columns and caves.
The wind had dropped the day we visited but the sea was still full of crashing Atlantic rollers. Apparently the temperature and the currents make it too dangerous for swimming.
