* * * Black sand beaches intrigue travelers with their mystery and beauty.* * *
Iceland is home to around 130 volcanoes, many of which are still active today. Black sand beaches rise from volcanic ashes. When molten lava enters the water, a violent interaction occurs between the hot lava and the seawater. The lava cools down so rapidly that it breaks into debris and sand instantly.
A large lava flow entering an ocean may produce enough basalt fragments to build a new black sand beach almost overnight. Since a black sand beach is made by a lava flow in a one-time event, they tend to be rather short-lived since sands do not get replenished if currents or storms wash sand into deeper water. A black sand beach is vulnerable to being inundated by future lava flows.
Unlike with white and green sand beaches, walking barefoot on black sand can result in burns, as the black sand absorbs more solar radiation.
