Reynisdrangar already looks very good from larger distance, nearby the parking.
Photo tips: Include either the coast or the basalt columns as an interesting foreground in your composition.
Getting there: The beach is right next the parking.
Reynisfjall is a 340 m high tuff mountain arising out of a volcanic eruption from under a glacier in the penultimate Ice Age, near the village of Vik. Alternating in an irregular manner are layers of tuff, pillow lava and columnar basalt veins and loops. Reynisdrangar stacks are a collection of 66 m high rock pillars that rise out of the sea and are of the same geological formation as Reynisfjall. On Reynisfjöru beach, very beautiful basalt formations in the south part of the mountain can be seen, and there you will find an exceedingly beautiful cave called Hálsanefshellir.

Dramatic view of Reynisdrangar rocks from Reynisfjara Beach taken between a net of water streams. It is amazing how Black and White allows to be really creative and get intense and powerful atmospheres.

As lava cools over an extended period of time, it creates incredible columns of hexagonal basalt rock that often form cliffs. Iceland has a bunch of these basalt columns along its southern shore. This was shot just outside the village of Vik. The wave ended up hitting me just below my chest and I had to wipe off the sea spray and dry my camera after this shot!!!
