Vik

Vík straddles the North Atlantic coast beneath Reynisfjall in Iceland’s Southern Region, and its position between black-sand shores and the volcanic interior has shaped a small settlement exposed to Atlantic weather. Reynisfjara beach, just west of the village, is known for its dark sand, basalt columns and the offshore Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Inland, Mýrdalsjökull glacier covers the Katla volcanic system, a defining force in this part of Iceland. The white Vík í Mýrdal Church, built in 1929, stands on the slope above the village.
