Skógafoss 斯科加瀑布
斯科加瀑布(Skógafoss)在冰岛南部，高60米，宽25米，是冰岛最大最具代表性的瀑布之一，而且所处地形极为便利。瀑布两旁的山上都长满了绿色的植物，两旁的山崖把瀑布包围在中间，白色的瀑布水流与周围的绿色植物搭配的恰到好处。此瀑布也被称作“森林瀑布”或“树林瀑布”。
The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again. The ring was allegedly given to the local church. The old church door ring is now in a museum, though whether it gives any credence to the folklore is debatable.
Reynisdrangar 黑沙滩
Reynisdrangar are basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village Vík í Mýrdal, southern Iceland which is framed by a black sand beach that was ranked in 1991 as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world.
Legend says that the stacks originated when two trolls dragged a three-masted ship to land unsuccessfully and when daylight broke they became needles of rock.
Contemporary legends note the story of a husband who found his wife taken by the two trolls, frozen at night. The husband made the two trolls swear to never kill anyone ever again. His wife was the love of his life, whose free spirit he was unable to provide a home for; she found her fate out among the trolls, rocks, and sea at Reynisfjara.
在冰岛最南端有一座维克小镇，这里有一片神秘的黑沙滩，经常有摄制组到这里取景拍摄外星球等科幻类型的影片。冰岛黑沙滩的“沙”其实是颗粒状的火山熔岩。这些熔岩颗粒没有杂质，也没有淤泥尘土，捧起一把，满手乌黑，轻轻一抖，黑沙四散，手上却纤毫不染。
