Breathtaking canyon in South Iceland

Sightseeing

Message from Dani Jonas

Fjaðrárgljúfur is a stunning canyon in South Iceland, near Kirkjubæjarklaustur. It's a hidden gem, less crowded than other popular sites in the area, making it perfect for photographers and hikers looking for some peace and quiet. The canyon was formed by glacial runoff, creating dramatic walls with waterfalls cascading down. Visitors can walk along the ridges or wade through the shallow river below. Nearby attractions include Kirkjubæjarklaustur and the beautiful South Coast with its waterfalls, black sand beaches, and bird cliffs.
