I totally understand that people would want to have their photo taken or take a selfie with the waves in the background, but it is just too dangerous, so please heed my advice. The waves here are so sneaky, they come creeping up on you and suck you in if you are standing too close - nothing can be done to save people if this happens - so please be extremely careful if you visit these beaches, and never turn your back to the sea and the waves. Just imagine the shock and grief this fatal accident caused this poor German family. Holidays should be about having fun and coming home with good memories - not a family member in a coffin :( My heart goes out to them. This accident shook the whole nation and it for sure shakes me to the core when I hear about fatal accidents on these infamous beaches, Kirkjufjara and Reynisfjara. Her husband and adolescent children had been knocked over by the waves as well but were able to save themselves in the nick of time from the undertow, which sucked this poor woman out to sea. Yet another fatal accident took place in South-Iceland on the 9th of January 2017, when a German woman travelling with her family, was snatched by a sneaker wave at Kirkjufjara beach by Dyrhólaey.
