Skogafoss waterfall & Reynishverfi beach

The action packed day continued as we went to see another magnificent waterfall which was 60m high and had a staircase for us to walk to the top. This provided another superb opportunity to see the textbook geography in the real world context.

From the waterfall we made the short coach journey to the Reynishverfi beach which is made of black volcanic ash. This is a superb example of the destructive nature of the sea as it shapes the beach. There was also the opportunity to have photographs with the spectacular basalt columns.

In a slight deviation from the itinerary Sam Yearsley demonstrated some superb flexibility for a big man as he performed a 7 out of 10 backflip from the basalt columns.
