Iceland - Vík í Mýrdal
Laufskálavarða
By @thebritishexplorer
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. 🪨
Address: Þjóðvegur, 881, Iceland
Why go
The wide field of cairns is visually unique and tells the story of first time travellers crossing the old desert.
Vibe
Historic. Unique.
Tips
I recommend enjoying the view without adding new stones. Building more harms the landscape and heritage.
