About

Sólheimasandur is a vast black sand beach located on the southern coast of Iceland. It is renowned for the eerie site of a United States Navy DC-3 airplane wreck that crashed there in 1973. The stark contrast between the dark sand and the white fuselage of the wreck creates a dramatic and otherworldly scene, attracting photographers and adventure seekers from around the world.
