Finally Friday - Reynisfjara - Black Beach

Reynisfjara - column basalt caves and black beach.   
So unique
Crashing North Atlantic waves.  Signs are posted warning of  "sneaker" waves. Indeed, do not get too  close or turn your back.  We witnessed the sudden breaking power.
The black beach itself was very tiny grains of volcanic rocks.  It was weird to walk on and there were a lot of very smooth black rocks too. 
It was rainy and windy.  Iceland was testing our thin Texas blood. 

Boots,  raingear, gloves. My trusty London Fog with the zipped in winter lining proved reliable. We were all pretty wet once back on the bus.  The rear of the bus looked like a laundry room - trying to  dry out.
