Iceland's black sand beach | It's like coming to the end of the world

If it weren't for the light, the silence here would be terrifying. Scattered across the entire black sand beach are large and small chunks of ice, like giant diamonds. It's bone-chillingly cold to move among them, the ground is black, and the sea is deep blue in the distance. The sunlight filtering through the ice cracks and the people passing by in motorboats carry the glimmer of hope for the entire black sand beach. The shock brought by natural scenic spots is still highly recommended for everyone to see. Remember to take a photo with a diamond-like ice piece~

I showed you some pictures of beautiful beaches in the last posts. I have to admit: I prefer those black sand beaches over everything else! When you walk on this black volcano sand you can just feel nature and the power. I also like the contrast of the blue water and the black sand beaches. Have you ever visited one of those? :) Cant wait to see them again in real life. But for now: quarantine time! . . #iceland #wheniniceland #visiticeland #traveliceland #travel #travel #landscape #photography #awesomepic

Iceland

Iceland belongs to Europe, but it is not located on the European continent geographically, but is a solitary island in the North Atlantic, closest to Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the United Kingdom. Culturally, Iceland is generally considered one of the five Nordic countries, with many similarities in language and customs with Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. However, this small country has countless unique places. Geographically, it is located at the junction of the Eurasian and American geological plates, so volcanic activity is active. And its high latitude has given it countless glaciers, including the third largest in the world and the largest in Europe, Vatnajökull. This dual nature of fire and ice has earned it the titles of "Country of Ice and Fire" and "Arctic Fire Island". More noteworthy than these loud names is the unique natural scenery shaped by this duality, making Iceland a travel dream for countless people around the world. Coupled with the avant-garde culture here, friendly nationals, and highly progressive ideas, Iceland is not just beautiful in the travel industry, it is a travel attitude in itself. Plane wreckage In 1937, a US Air Force plane crashed on the black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland. Due to the high cost of repairs, it has been quietly parked here, becoming a popular tourist check-in spot. Not only that, "Game of Thrones", "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", "Noah's Ark: The Journey of Creation" all have scenes on the black sand beach, becoming the favorite place for science fiction directors. Some people say that if you can't go to outer space, go to Iceland. Some people say that going to Iceland is a planned escape from the earth. I strongly agree, for me, Iceland is the place I have been to, the place on this earth that is least like the earth's surface. Over the past few years of traveling around the world, whenever I am asked which country I like the most, my answer is always - Iceland

Unveiling Mystery: Abandoned US Navy Plane in the Desert

After a strenuous 4-kilometer walk through the vast desert, we finally arrived at the site of an abandoned United States Navy DC plane, frozen in time since its tragic crash in November 1973. The plane's skeletal frame stands as a haunting reminder of the fateful day. Curiously, the cause of the crash remains a mystery. The desert winds whisper stories of a stormy night, where the pilot unknowingly switched to the wrong fuel tank, resulting in a catastrophic end. Decades later, the truth remains elusive. Standing here, I can't help but ponder the unknown and pay homage to the lives forever tied to this wreckage. ✈️🌵🔎

The wreckage of an airplane at the end of the world.

In 1973, a US Navy plane was forced to make an emergency landing on a black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland due to a malfunction, and has since been abandoned there. On the desolate and vast black sand beach, the broken and rough metal fuselage is even more poignant, mysterious and shocking against the backdrop of dark sandstone, creating a scenery like the end of the world, perfectly interpreting Iceland's sense of loneliness and otherworldliness, attracting many photographers from Iceland and around the world to visit. Today, it has become one of the popular tourist attractions in Iceland. After years of wind and rain, the already broken fuselage has become riddled with holes, and the metal lines combined with the scenery of Iceland's land create a sense of an impending apocalypse against the backdrop of black sandstone. This little accident has also added another man-made attraction to Iceland. If you want to go to the airplane wreckage, whether by tourist bus or self-driving rental car, you can only park the car in the parking lot about 4 kilometers away from the airplane wreckage and choose to walk or take other transportation to get there. The one-way distance from the parking lot to the airplane wreckage is about 4 kilometers, and it takes 1.5-2 hours to walk one way, so the round trip takes about 3-4 hours. If there is snow or strong wind, the walking speed may be slower. Be sure to prepare adequately (especially mentally) before walking, because the round trip to the airplane wreckage is a total distance of 8 kilometers, and the road is all black gravel road. Some tourists may like to climb on top of, inside, and take 360-degree photos of the airplane wreckage. Please be reminded not to leave any traces on the airplane wreckage and pay attention to the signs at the entrance of the wreckage, which also indicate that climbing on the airplane is not allowed and damaging the body of the airplane wreckage due to various photography behaviors should be avoided. If you choose to walk, it is recommended to download an offline map before departure because the entrance to the airplane wreckage is not very obvious and it is easy to miss.

Puffin Spotting At Dyrholary

Look at the cute puffins we spotted at Dyrhólaey! This enchanting promontory, perched on Iceland's southern coast, offers a breathtaking panorama of nature's grandeur. Dyrhólaey is a geological marvel, featuring colossal sea cliffs, sculpted by the relentless North Atlantic waves, and a black sand beach below. But our day was all about the puffins – those endearing seabirds with their vibrant orange beaks and striking black-and-white plumage. Nestled in the cliffs, they waddled and soared, adding a burst of color to the rugged landscape. With the salty breeze in the air and the Atlantic Ocean stretching endlessly before us, Dyrhólaey was a slice of Icelandic paradise. #puffins #tripblazers #hike
