Reynisfjara black sand beach erosion

Reynisfjara right now: what changed on Iceland’s black sand beach

​​Reynisfjara, the black sand beach near Vík on Iceland’s South Coast, has been shifting fast this winter. Recent stormy surf has stripped sand in places, making parts of the shoreline feel tighter, rougher, and less forgiving than the “classic” photos suggest. The scenery is still stunning, but the margin for error is smaller.
