Unforgettable wedding photo shoot in Reykjavik
More and more young couples decide to get married near the waterfall. It makes for great photos.
Among the famous waterfalls in Reykjavík it is worth mentioning Svartifoss — it is also called the black waterfall. It is located on the territory of Skaftafetl Park. Around it there are columns of black lava. It is because of them that the waterfall received such a name. The columns have hexagonal corners, which give them a unique appearance. Such angles appeared as a result of slow solidification of the lava flow. It is worth noting that this unusual architecture, created by nature itself, inspired many architects. They used this idea when creating new projects. For example, it was applied in the construction of the Hallgrimur Church.

It is located in the heart of the capital and was established over 10 years ago. The museum was named in honor of Vikin Bay.
