Mann im Meer in Reynisfjara – rúv.is

>In the research paper from 2016, *Reynisfjara: Djásn eða dauðagildra*, the authors observed tourists in Reynisfjara beach for three days; it became clear that many of the tourists behaved recklessly and did not seem to perceive danger. Instead of warning visitors, visitors perceive signs as optional information, and many tourists often overcrowd the location. Additionally, many tourists at Reynisfjara beach seek to capture the perfect photo to post on social media. Since they do not want other tourists in their image, they seek out a less crowded place to take the picture, often closer to the water.
