Hiking

The waves at Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland are known for their unpredictability and can be extremely dangerous. So-called "sneaker waves" (or rogue waves), in particular, which occur unexpectedly high and powerful, have resulted in fatal accidents in the past. Therefore, it is important to always keep a safe distance from the water at Reynisfjara Beach and heed the warning signs.
