Famous black sand beach Reynisfjara transformed by severe coastal erosion

FILE VIDEO - Reynisfjara Beach has experienced significant coastal erosion, with part of the shoreline collapsing and the Atlantic Ocean advancing closer to the basalt cliffs. Experts say the changes are not linked to rising sea levels but instead to atypical easterly winds. Specialists attribute the erosion to unusual wind patterns and strong ocean currents, which they say have accelerated the reshaping of the coastline.
