Dyrholaey - Dyrhólaey is a captivating promontory located on Iceland’s south coast. The promontory was formed during a volcanic eruption approximately 100,000 years ago. It consists of alternating layers of lava and ash, which have eroded over time to create the distinctive shape of the cliffs. Dyrhólaey is also home to a lighthouse, built in 1910, which remains operational today. The lighthouse offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Reynisfjara black sand beach and the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. A key attraction at Dyrhólaey is the natural rock arch spanning the sea, known as the Dyrhólaey Arch. Visitors can hike to the top of the promontory and enjoy breathtaking views of the arch and the surrounding coastline. Another popular activity at Dyrhólaey is bird-watching. The promontory hosts a variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes. Visitors can observe these birds in their natural habitat from designated viewing areas.

Reynisfjara Beach - Reynisfjara Beach is renowned for its distinctive black sand, basalt columns, and powerful waves. The geological history of the beach dates back thousands of years to volcanic eruptions in the area, leading to the formation of the black sand. The basalt columns were formed by cooling lava flows, which later eroded into their current shape due to the relentless pounding of the waves. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is famous for the basalt sea stacks that rise from the ocean. These formations, known as Reynisdrangar, are said to be the remains of two trolls who attempted to drag a three-masted ship to shore but were turned to stone by the rising sun. Visitors to the beach can enjoy a scenic walk along the black sand, take in the stunning views of the sea stacks, and watch the powerful waves crash against the shore. It is important to note that the waves at Reynisfjara are known for their strength, and visitors should exercise caution when exploring the beach.
