You'll pass the Hekla and Eyjafjallajokull volcanoes as you continue along the coast. You can see the Westman Islands in the distance to your right on clear days. These stunning views offer perfect photo opportunities.

Your first stop is the Solheimajokull glacier, an outlet of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap. It stretches over a vast area, with striking blue ice and ash layers from past volcanic eruptions.

Next, you'll visit the Reynisfjara black sand beach, famous for its black basalt sands and dramatic ocean waves. Gaze at the Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising majestically from the water. According to legend, these stacks were once trolls who turned to stone.

The waterfall is one of Iceland's largest and best known. Enjoy the views as you photograph this incredible sight.

Your next stop is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Seljalandsfoss waterfall is unique as you can walk behind its cascade. In the summer, the trail behind the cascade is open, offering a rare perspective of the water plunging from above.
