More Tips on Vik from Travelers
Vik
- Day well spent - our first year anniversary (Sept1, 2019). Interesting fact about this village and the church - Vik lies south of #myrdalsjokull glacier which is on top of #katla volcano. Kalta has not erupted since 1918 and there are speculations that an eruption may occur soon. An eruption could melt enough ice to trigger flash flood, that could wipe out the entire village. The church located high on the hill is believed to be the only building that could survive such a flood. People of Vik practice periodic drills to rush to the church at the first sign of eruption.

Vik Black Beaches
- Along the black sands, awaits the sun to bring forth the light to all and everyone. After staying overnight in our vehicle; we got up bright and early in order to catch the sun before it rose. It gave us the ability to take a wonderful early morning shot with blue skies. Even though the entire night was full of clouds.

Dritvik Djúpalónssandur
- I took this picture in Iceland. We left early in the morning, the sky was overcast and it was raining. Just as we arrived at our destination, the sky suddenly cleared, the clouds disappeared and the sun bathed the whole landscape in a breathtaking light. The sky with this landscape was an unforgettable experience.

Vik
- I had wanted to visit this church for a long time. Standing alone on a hill above the town of Vik in Iceland, theres no where quite like it. It’s such a stark and dramatic place and it didn’t disappoint. We had some moody skies but when the sun came out and lit up the landscape I knew it would make a great shot.

Vik
- This shot was taken on Easter Sunday while traveling Iceland for a week during Spring. We made it to the town Vik and we were starving with no food for dinner in our camper. I took this shot sitting outside the N1 gas station eating a hot dog and a chocolate milk for dinner. Ill take this view any day!

Vik
- After driving for days on end hoping for a break in the constant rain, we made our way up the cliffside right as the sun broke through and revealed the layers of deep storm clouds behind us. One of the most beautiful moments I have ever been privileged to witness.
