Vik is the southernmost village in Iceland and is also the wettest place in the country. Its beaches are composed of natural black sands and a unique feature of the beaches in Vik are the basalt column rising out from the sea, which are often rough due to the high winds in the North Atlantic.
A remarkable nearby feature is the beautiful black beach with the Reynisdrangar, black basalt columns sculpted by the sea. A folk tale says that they are former trolls which were caught outside at dawn. The sea around them is rather wild and stormy.

Vik es el pueblo más meridional de Islandia y también el lugar más
lluvioso
del país. Sus playas están compuestas de arenas negras naturales y uno
de sus componentes más llamativos son las columnas de basalto
volcánico que salen directamente del mar, y que son moldeadas por los
fuertes vientos y mareas del Atlántico norte.
El conjunto más llamativo de estas columnas basálticas es de Reynisdrangar, visible desde la propia playa de Vik. Una leyenda popular cuenta que se trata de trolls, que han fueron cogidos por sorpresa por los primeros rayos de sol del amanecer.
