This place is so fascinating that the American magazine Islands Magazine called it the most beautiful beach on the planet. But such picturesqueness place add more basalt columns in the ocean. They have an unusual shape, and a legend makes them mysterious, which says that these rocks were once trolls and petrified by the sun's rays.
Walking on the black sand, which is washed by the waves of the ocean, there is an awful feeling for an hour, as if you were completely on another planet. In these places often make photo sessions or shoot fantastic films.

SPA resort with black rocks
Very close to the capital of Iceland is a huge spa complex with rocky beaches. The blue lagoon is famous for healing waters and mud, so there are always a lot of people here who want to fix or maintain health.
