Laufskálavarða
A lava ridge covered in historic stone cairns on the Mýrdalssandur black sand plains. Hundreds of small stacks across the dark ground. A striking sight. 🪨

Hotel Katla by Keahotels
A 3 star hotel near Vík on Iceland’s South Coast. A handy base for Reynisfjara, Dyrhólaey and the waterfalls nearby. Outdoor geothermal hot tub, sauna and a small fitness room make it easy to relax after a long drive. 🚗🧖‍♀️

Dyrhólaey Viewpoint
Breathtaking spot, beautiful rock arch and high cliffs, you can see it from above and from below. In summer this is where to see puffins in Iceland, wind strong on the top, sea and black sand in one frame, raw and incredible. Parking is small and the lighthouse area gets busy, but the wait is not too long. 🐧
