Gathering of the trolls
Just offshore from the black sand beach in Vík, the basalt rock formations, Reynisdrangar, stick up out of the Atlantic like fingers. As the folklore goes, these spindly rock formations are actually trolls frozen in time. Trolls are mythical night dwellers, trying to drag sailing ships ashore when they were caught in the sunlight and turned to stone.
