Although the basalt columns at Reynisfjara beach appear to be manmade, nothing is further from the truth. These columns originated when the thick lava flow cracked and cooled down rapidly. The extensive fracture network that develops results in the formation of columns.

In the back you can see Reynisdrangar, which are basalt sea stacks rising up from the sea. Legend says that the stacks originated when two trolls dragged a three-masted ship to land unsuccessfully and when daylight broke they became needles of rock.

Long Exposure created with shutter time of 90 seconds.
