Exploring Iceland's Black Sand Beach

With its enormous basalt stacks, roaring Atlantic waves and stunning panoramas, Reynisfjara is widely considered to be the most beautiful example of Iceland’s black sand beaches. In 1991, National Geographic voted Reynisfjara as one of the Top 10 non-tropical beaches to visit on the planet. This is a must see on your next trip to Iceland.

My gosh. That place looks like the edge of the world. So cool.

[@maryjames7193]

Beautiful. My husband really enjoyed seeing it again. He was stationed over there in the 60's and walked that beach. Great video.

[@donnaj.1634]

Thank you for taking us all along to these beautiful places!

[@NaturesChild]

Incredible. Those lava formations reminds me of the Devil's Tower.

[@Jay-mz5es]

And ya know what...as I was scrolling down to the comment section here, I was wondering how many people would comment about being reminded of Devil's Tower and Giants Causeway. Because what I was gonna comment about is the LIES of the so-called scientists and elites, trying to tell us that these mostly hex shaped columns were caused by fast moving lava. What a friggin JOKE, maaannnn!!! Since WHEN have you EVER heard of "Smart Lava"??? Huh???!!! No...really...WHEN?! You NEVER HAVE! Until it comes to these specific locations, right? So, now to actually use your BRAINS that the GOOD LORD has given y'all.......What Exactly does Devil's Tower itself actually look like?! A tree stump. Now, this place and Giants Causeway don't actually resemble a tree stump, however...these ALLLLL were actually giant trees at one time. Scriptures even TELL of these giant trees that used to reach the HEAVENS! The Titans were ordered by God to cut them down, cuz he was about to send the Great Deluge of Noah's time and God didn't want anyone trying to out climb the flood waters as they rose up. Anyhow, I can go into GREAT DETAIL, but this is only a comment section so, if you'd like to learn MUCH more about these giant trees and such, then search all over KZbin on that topic. Peaaaaace!!! 😲

how beautiful!

I love that there is no trash or litter on this beach like over here in America. One day respect for our beautiful land will return. I love your footage of this otherworldly Icelandic corner of the world. I just subscribed. 💗💗💗

[@tarantulaguy1998]

Very popular indeed, I walked and stood about this spot when I went to Iceland with school for a week. More like a holiday though than school trip, best trip ever!

[@susaneirthug415]

Fascinating. Words elude me. It's just 8 pm here on the Left Coast of North America and I was delighted when the notification for this video popped up at the end of a long work day. I dropped what I was doing and ran right over. You wield a camera well. Thank you for a taste of what it's like to be on a volcanic beach in Iceland. Aside: 3:20 -- My inner geek couldn't help but notice that the beach has great mobile phone service, apparently.

[@Jay-mz5es]

ROFL! The LEFT Coast of America??? Now, tell me...is that the left coast like you're in the air, looking down on America, or on the ground, looking up in the sky? ROFL!!! Waaaaaooooowwww 😮 Some people KILL ME, maaaannnnnn!!! Haaaahahahaaaaa!!!

It is beautiful so many interesting rock formations, the black sand reminds me of the volcanic sand in the canaries

[@terrygraham1877]

Awesome country! ---I'm from mountain country, but I sure love the sound of the ocean, as the waves hit the shoreline. Great series of videos!

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

The way the surf is absorbed by the scree there on the shore is quite extraordinary a thing to see. An amazing place, thanks for sharing.

[@ToddEWalnuts]

Hey Chris, I’ve been binge watching your channel for the past two days and these Iceland videos are pure gold. I can’t believe how beautiful it is and how many times I said Wow when you showed something on camera. I like to think I know a little about geography and site seeing but Iceland blew me away. I had no idea. Keep kicking out videos and you can always count on me for a thumbs up. Be safe man, take care. Todd

The scenery, rock formations and sea caves here remind me of Fingal's Cave and the Isle of Staffa in Scotland - very similar!

This series has been the most beautiful you have shown us by far. Completely volcanic, Iceland has many unique geologic examples. Have you seen any obsidian deposits yet and if so, what colors? Thank you for sharing this one of a kind biome on our planet.

[@brambeer5591]

Iceland, known for its sneaker waves.

[@bluesharp59]

Thumbs up liked for you and Happy Saturday.

[@lavapix]

I believe that's the inners of an ancient volcano that solidified rapidly vs draining and collapsing. Just like Devils Tower. Iceland has lots of them. Very cool sights.

[@stevejohnson7165]

Reminds me of the “Devils Post Pile” in Mammoth Mountain California. Crazy how nature works.

[@sysygy100]

If you look at those two rocks that you said are part of the folklore from the top of the hill, they look like an elephant (big, or two, back legs though!) and a seal poking its head out of the water. Great camera work and very interesting commentary, as usual! Loved the video!

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

We went up there on the cliff a couple of years ago. Intense wind, which made it so cold, even in August.

[@adnanozcan7108]

Nice Place

[@lindajoy7208]

Amazing formations. Goodness the sea was rough. You stood way too close to the the cliff edge. Please take care. Great video.

What a uniquely beautiful place. Thank you for the wonderful camera work, you really captured it. But, Chris, I need to know . . . Was it windy? 😀

And they're huge too. It's hard to show how tall they are on camera

[@lvlndco]

Another great location! You may have covered this in the past and this is a curiosity question, not a negative thing...how are you able to take the time to go to all these interesting places?

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Chris, if you like high cliffs and dramatic coastline with beautiful tropical blue water then you should visit Cornwall in the UK it has a stunning landscape. A very pretty area with the high cliffs and the black sand like beach, a very cool location. Thanks for sharing. x

I definitley want to plan a UK trip soon!

[@JainMonroe]

that beach and rock were used in a Star Wars movie

[@sandyca1106]

The same strange rock can be found at Devils Postpile National Monument in Mammoth Lakes, CA. I suppose this area is also a volcanic area as is Iceland, because it also has the hot springs. I became aware of it when my sister went hiking for 2 wks this past summer in the Sierra's. Also, LOL never turn your back on the ocean LOL.
