In Iceland, there's a spot where green fields, a yellow river, a black beach, and the ocean all come together. The Yellow River, located in Vatnajokull National Park, gets its color from sulfur-rich geothermal activity nearby. The black sand beaches are a result of volcanic activity, with glacial rivers carrying basalt particles to the shore. 1) The Yellow River: The vivid yellow color comes from sulfur and minerals from nearby volcanic areas. 2) Black sand beaches: The black sand is formed by hot lava from dormant volcanoes that cools and solidifies in the cold ocean water. Reynisfjara, a famous black sand beach, is located on the south coast near the village of Vík. 3) Green fields: Lush green fields border the yellow river and black sand beaches.

The black sand is more likely to be heavy minerals rather than sand-grade basalt fragments.

There is also a clear littoral current and littoral drift (transport of sediment) towards the bottom of the phtograph (when the image was taken) 😊
