It is a part of the larger Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which is situated atop the Katla volcano. Sólheimajökull is a popular tourist destination due to its accessibility and stunning natural beauty. The glacier is easily accessible from the main Ring Road (Route 1) in Iceland, making it a common stop for travelers exploring the southern part of the country. It is located between the towns of Skógar and Vik, approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Reykjavik, Iceland's capital. REYNISFJARA is a famous black sand beach located on the south coast of Iceland, near the small village of Vík í Mýrdal. It is one of the most popular and iconic tourist attractions in Iceland due to its unique and otherworldly beauty. The beach is composed of black volcanic sand, created by the erosion of lava rock and volcanic ash over time. This striking black sand provides a stark contrast against the surrounding cliffs and the foamy white waves of the North Atlantic Ocean. Reynisfjara beach is bordered by impressive basalt column cliffs that stand like dark hexagonal pillars. These formations were formed through the cooling and contracting of lava, resulting in this distinctive geometric pattern. The beach is known for its powerful and unpredictable waves. Visitors should exercise extreme caution while exploring the area, as “sneaker waves“ can come unexpectedly and pull people into the ocean.
