Black beach Iceland презентация

The black beach is a mysterious, mysterious place. It is here, in the southern part of Iceland, near Cape Dirholaey, near the village of Vic, is the most unusual beach of the Earth.

Unusual coastline stretches for as much as 5 kilometers. Severe, cold sea against the background of a gloomy shore looks somehow unfriendly. Surprisingly, sand, having a real black color, is very clean. There is no rubbish, various impurities, pebbles - too. Man does not pollute this territory, because this corner of nature is located where more than 80% of the time in a year rains. Dampness and high humidity like a little.
In the appearance of black sand, "volcanic lava" is to blame. Hundreds of years of lava flowed into the ocean after eruptions, and then froze. Sea water slowly broke pieces of lava into small particles and threw them ashore. So there was an amazing beach.

In addition to the incredible color of sand, the fantastic beach scenery is complemented by huge boulders and basalt columns. The form of unique formations is very different. Local residents claim that these evil trolls petrified from the appearance of the sun, delayed during one of the sorties to Earth.
Basalt columns of black color appeared as a result of the impact of sea water on the coastal rocks. Reinisdrangar - this name is a massive black education.
Nearby is Mount Reinisfjadl, on the slopes and in the crevices of which the birds live. Most of all - screaming seagulls.
