129 seconds Reynisfjara beach in South Iceland one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. But it is also one of the most dangerous: The waves are not only beautiful, but also unpredictable. In the past years travellers have repeatedly narrowly escaped being swept to sea after having been knocked over by incoming waves, or losing their footing in the shifting sand and then pulled out by the powerful undercurrent

This looks chilling, both literally and figuratively! (Glad you seemed to escape being dragged out to sea by one of those rogue waves!) The blue tone works so well here especially given the description of the beach you include here.

Thanks for the insight too! I suppose getting swept into these waters would quickly be life ending.
