Karen Blixen
Cambridge, Regno Unito
At the southwest tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula lies the black sand beach Sandvík, characterised by the crashing and merciless waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The reason why this beach must make our list is that it’s one of the prime destinations for Iceland’s small but diligent surfing community. Surfing in Iceland means facing freezing waters and savage winds, which requires a knowledge of weather patterns and tidal projections, as well as the utmost respect for the dangers of the Arctic sea. Foreseeing the perfect conditions has proved hard for traveling surfers, but the optimal window for daredevils is usually between October and March when the storms are heavy and the currents strong.
