Skógafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. This classic 62m high and 15 m wide waterfall is the last and most spectacular in a series of falls that are found in the Skógá River.

Reynisfjara is a black sand beach that was ranked in 1991 as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world. It is considered by many the most dangerous beach in Iceland for its powerful current. Just off the shore are Reynisdrangar, basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village Vík í Mýrdal.

Dyrhólaey, formerly known by seamen as Cape Portland, is a small promonotory located on the south coast of Iceland, not far from the village Vík. The peninsula has an elevation of 120 feet (37 m), and the Dyrhólaey lighthouse sits at the top of the formation facing the sea. The view from Dyrhólaey is broad: To the north is to be seen the big glacier Mýrdalsjökull. To the east, the black lava columns of the Reynisdrangar come out of the sea, and to the west the whole coastline towards Selfoss. In the summertime, many Atlantic puffins can be found nesting on the cliff faces of Dyrhólaey.
