This color photo of Reynisfjara black sand beach in Iceland highlights the crisp contrast of the white wave crashing against the black volcanic sand. Located in the South of Iceland, this beach lies along the open sea of the North-Atlantic that brings powerful waves up to the coast.

In this image as the wave begins to retreat, a thick ribbon of froth forms smoothly along its edge. Details in the ocean water and the texture of the black volcanic sand beach can be seen in this stunning dichotomy of black and white.
