Reynisfjall, Mountain summit near Vík í Mýrdal, Iceland
Reynisfjall extends five kilometers along the South Coast, reaching a height of 340 meters with black basalt cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The mountain formation occurred through volcanic activity, creating tuff rock structures that have eroded over thousands of years into the current landscape.
Local inhabitants tell stories of two sea stacks near Reynisfjall, explaining they were trolls turned to stone while attempting to drag ships to shore.
The hiking trail spans 7.2 kilometers and takes approximately three hours to complete, starting from the Vínbúðin shop in Vík.
During summer months, the cliffs of Reynisfjall become nesting grounds for thousands of seabirds, including puffins and fulmars.
