Fantastic Columns and Geology at Reynisfjara: Iceland's Most Scenic and Dangerous Beach 

You bet!

Wow, thank you!

It's about a year late (waiting for some of the new Iceland trip stuff from Shawn) but at least part of that similarity is likely down to origin as Siletzia based on igneous petrology appears to have once been a Pacific analog of Iceland i.e. a mantle plume hotspot formed along the East Pacific Rise prior to North America crashing into and overriding it. The hot spot responsible is now in western Wyoming but the seismic tomography shows that the deep solid mantle discontinuity associated with the EPR persists below Yellowstone making out the rough boundary of the Basin and Range + Colorado plateau. Point is when he time comes for the Atlantic to close Iceland will likely get smeared accreted onto a continent or two as Siletzia's other half is Yakutat up in Alaska.

Thank you for this kind and generous donation. This will help me travel to more locations and make more videos.

My pleasure!

The wind will probably skip it back and smack you on the face with them!

Those are some of the best skipping stones you ever would find, however, you would be hard pressed to find a day with our heavy surf, making any ambition of a new personal best in skipping mote.

Make that "wise old lady". This beach has taken many lives. Not all of those lost were being foolish. "Sneaker waves" sweep people away. Shawn was watching the sea, but vigilance would not have saved him if a sneaker wave had come at a bad moment.

Thank you.

Glad you like them!

Try a geology professor at a nearby university.

There is a huge sign by the the parking lot now. Three large colour lights indicating sea state, with three clearly drawn (map on the sigh) lines in matching colours. Other than barbed wire and anti personnel mines, I really don´t know what more to do.

Yep. Sometimes pentagons and heptagons too.

Thanks for your kind donation
