His wife was the passion of his life, but he couldn’t give a home for her free spirit, so she ended herself out among the trolls, rocks, and sea at Reynisfjara. The spouse made the two trolls swear that they would never kill anyone again. The account of a husband who found his wife stolen by the two trolls, frozen at night, is mentioned in modern legends. Sea StacksĪccording to legend, the stacks formed when two trolls unsuccessfully pulled a three-masted ship to land, and when dawn broke, they turned into needles of rock. Whatever (or whoever) constructed them, Reynisdrangar makes a significant contribution to what has been dubbed one of the world’s most stunning non-tropical beaches. There are at least two genesis myths, both of which, predictably for Iceland, feature trolls. And we’re not being sarcastic about the legendary aspect – these sea stacks are associated with more than one mythology. A huge expanse of black sand beach and green, towering hills make up this mystical setting.
These bizarre sea stacks cast dark outlines on the horizon just offshore near the town of Vk. The craggy basalt pillars known as Reynisdrangar must be at the top of the scenic list. Scenes of jagged coastline majesty are widespread in Iceland, but their abundance does not detract from the beauty of each and every vista.
