Vik
Iceland's southernmost village sits on the black-sand coast of the south shore, backed by Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the volatile Katla volcano beneath it. Vík serves as the main service stop for a long stretch of the Ring Road, with a small but functional cluster of cafés and restaurants that make it a natural base for exploring the surrounding coastal and mountain scenery.
