The sense of loneliness at the end of the world, the setting of rights and games, the black sand beach of Iceland

This moment, the black sand beach of my dreams appears before my eyes. Huge basalt columns stand tall on the beach. The dark volcanic sand and stones form a stark contrast with the rolling white waves, making it feel especially lonely and apocalyptic on a cloudy day. It's as if everything is at the end of the world. I think no one can refuse this place. The black sand beach is an attraction in the southern region of Iceland, composed of volcanic lava gravel, and is also a significant symbol of Iceland's volcanic island identity. On the beach, there are towering columnar basalt volcanic rock walls of Reynisfjall, and not far from the shore, there stands a group of eerie black rocks, reminiscent of medieval European scenes from fantasy movies. From Reykjavik, follow Route 1 to reach the town of Vik, and 3 kilometers southwest is the beach. When walking on the black sand beach, one must stay away from the waves and never turn one's back to them, as there have been multiple unfortunate incidents of tourists being swept into the sea by the waves! The waves heal you and me, here we find our own answers...
