Iceland Reynisdrangar, the black basalt sea stacks near Vik
The Reynisdrangar is a basalt rock formation in the ocean near Vík í Mýrdal, which can be seen best from the black sand beach during low tide.
Take care of yourself, because this spot can be extremely stormy! And you should watch when the tide is coming because the beach beyond the cliffs disappears completely if there is no low tide and there already died people from getting caught by the cold and strong waves of the ocean.

Photography Tips
Protect your camera while you are not shooting if it's windy! Especially tiny stones can destroy your lens or the digital display pretty easily!
Summer is a good time to be here because there are usually a lot of puffins around that area.
