Stuðlagil canyon

Stuðlagil Canyon is a unique basalt canyon located in East Iceland, known for its stunning basalt rock formations and turquoise glacial river. The canyon was once hidden by a powerful glacial river, but after the construction of a hydroelectric plant, the water level dropped, revealing the beautiful basalt columns. Visitors can enjoy hiking to the canyon, taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the glacial river. The area is also home to a beautiful waterfall called Stuðlafoss, which is surrounded by towering basalt columns. The nature surrounding the canyon is delicate, and visitors are encouraged to show respect for the area and wildlife. The canyon is a great destination for families, with its unique natural beauty and opportunities for hiking and exploration
