Información Detallada
Project and location: Vík in Mýrdalur is Iceland‘s most southerly village, bordered by the glacial river Jökulsá to the west and the river Blautakvísl to the east. It’s northern border is the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which caps the volcanic Mt. Katla, while its southern limits are black sands and the rolling Atlantic waves. The district lives mainly by agriculture. Although this community of 600 inhabitants faces the open Atlantic, Vík is the only seaside settlement in Iceland left without a harbour due to natural circumstances. The natural beauty of the area is spectacular. Just east of the village‘s outskirts lies one of Europe‘s biggest arctic tern breeding grounds. South of Vík is a beautiful beach, which an international Magazine named one of the world‘s ten best island beaches in 1991. A short hike within the close vicinity of Vík is sure to satisfy all serious nature lovers and bird watchers. Vík and its surroundings is one of the main bird life areas in Iceland.
