I wanted to know what is so ‘unusual’ about the Best Unusual Beach in Vik, Iceland so I looked it up. Apparently, the beach is made up of black volcanic sand. I’ve always wanted to travel to places that aren’t really traveled as often. I mean, I still want to visit England, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia, but I’d love to go to Iceland and see the beautiful glaciers and now the black volcanic sand beaches of Vik.
