South Coast Iceland Road Trip! | Glaciers, Black Sand Beach, Dyrholaey, & More | Travel Guide 2021

Travel Vlog #76 | Black Sand Beach, Vik, Iceland
We're continuing south on our Ring Road trip in Iceland! We're currently in south Iceland, and this is the perfect place for a road trip. We've been living in a campervan to travel the ring road and have been loving it! Van life Iceland is the best way to see the country in our opinion. Our first stop is Solheimajokull, our first glacier of the trip! This glacier is surrounded by some incredible sights - waterfalls, rifts, canyons, even a small glacier lagoon! After admiring the glacier, we headed towards the southernmost point in mainland Iceland: Dyrhólaey! This is a promontory point that looks like a door in the rock, and the name even means door hill. The outlook at the top of a (slightly sketchy) hill is beautiful, with views of hills, volcanoes, and the ocean. Just a stones throw east, we reached Reynisfjara, AKA, the Black Sand Beach! This is one of Iceland's most popular sights, and for good reason. The crashing waves come right up to massive basalt columns and formations. The landscape of the region almost makes you feel like you're stepping onto another planet. But this area is extremely dangerous as well - because of sneaker waves. For our last stop of the day, we visited Vik, a popular stop on the Ring Road with a population of around 300! There's a beautiful church, as well as many gas and food stops.
We drove the rest of the way towards our campsite in Skaftafell, but of course had to stop to admire horses, the rolling hills, and of course, waterfalls. We're going to be exploring Vatnajokull National Park, one of Iceland's 3 national parks in the next video, so make sure to subscribe!

We're Ashley & Christian, a newly-wed, mid-20’s couple on a mission to see at least 100 countries, slowly! (We have a 10 year goal) & possibly every country..?
We'll be uploading the vlogs from our trips over the past year as well as new vlogs, FAQs about frequent travel, packing videos, how to plan your own trips, etc.
While we currently work full-time jobs to support our passion, we will be working towards a year of FULL-TIME travel in the future!
Follow us on our adventures!
