Sunrise @ Diamond Beach | Iceland

The beach’s icebergs originate at Breidamerkurjokull Glacier, a glacial tongue of Europe’s largest glacier Vatnajokull. The beach is called Breidamerkursandur in Icelandic (sandur means sand). Summer is the perfect time to take a stroll along the beach as light changes from Sunset to Sunrise in less than 2 hours in the middle of the night.

Sunset @ Punaluʻu Beach (Black Sand Beach) | Big Island, Hawaii

The beach has black sand made of basalt and created by lava flowing into the ocean which explodes as it reaches the ocean and cools. This volcanic activity is in the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

Dettifoss Waterfall | Iceland

As the most powerful waterfall in Europe and most voluminous waterfall in Iceland, Dettifoss has a reputation to uphold. Measuring 144 ft or 45 meters high and 100 meters wide, Dettifoss is known for its power rather than it’s appearance. That said, the waterfall is stunning; it’s extremely large and the mist from the falls is visible from several miles away Dettifoss is fed from the mighty glacier river Jökulsá á Fjöllum, which comes from the biggest ice cap in Europe, Vatnajökull glacier. Meltwater flows off the glacier and travels through Jökulsá until it finally reaches the Dettifoss waterfall. Jökulsá á fjöllum is the second largest river in Iceland and eventually flows out to the Greenland Sea.

Goðafoss, Iceland

Goðafoss waterfall is located in the river Skjálfandafljót in north Iceland, the fourth largest river in Iceland. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country, falling from a height of 12 metres (39 feet) over a width of 30 metres (98 feet). The name Goðafoss means either waterfall of the gods or waterfall of the 'goði' (i.e. priest/ chieftain).

Sunset @ Hvítserkur, Iceland

Hvítserkur, otherwise known as the Troll of Northwest Iceland, is a 15 m (49 ft) tall basalt rock stack protruding from Húnaflói Bay. Folklore says that Hvítserkur was originally a troll from the peninsula, determined to rip the bells down from Þingeyraklaustur convent. The beast was so enraged and persistent that it did not notice the rising sun, and was instantly petrified for eternity in its rays.
