🛫 DC-3 Crash Site (Iceland) 🏖️
West of Vik on Sólheimasandur Beach is a lonely old DC-3 crash site. The black sand beach is huge and the DC-3 wreck hard to spot.
In 1973 a US Navy R4D (DC-3) ran low on fuel and made an emergency landing on Sólheimasandur beach. All on board survived the landing but it was deemed too expensive to salvage the entire plane so it was stripped of valuable parts and the carcass left on the beach to rot.
