Before you drive
Local notes from the Færð og Veður team
Vík sits between two exposed stretches: the road over Reynisfjall to the west and Mýrdalssandur to the east, a flat glacial plain where strong wind can carry sand and snow across the road.
West of Vík, under the Eyjafjöll mountains, gusts off the slopes are a known hazard for campervans and high-sided vehicles.
Reynisfjara and Dyrhólaey are reached by short side roads (215 and 218), shown above.
