Arnardrangur or “Eagle Rock”
Vik, Iceland
At this end of Reynisfjara black sand beach was a high lava rock called Arnardrangur or “Eagle Rock”. The name comes from the eagles that nested there until 1850.
White sandy beaches? Yes, they’re nice. But what if I told you there’s a lava beach in Iceland that has risen from the ashes? Actually, Iceland has several volcanic beaches, but Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is hands down the coolest with its black sand, insane basalt columns, lava formations, towering cliffs, and caves.
