Stuðlagil Canyon, located in East Iceland, is a hidden gem that offers a unique and breathtaking experience. With its stunning basalt rock columns and a mesmerizing blue-green glacial river, this place is a must-visit for nature lovers. The canyon was formed by the powerful force of a glacial river, which has now calmed down thanks to a nearby hydroelectric plant. Although it can be a bit tricky to find, the journey is totally worth it. So put on your hiking boots, embrace the untouched terrain, and get ready to be amazed by the beauty of Stuðlagil Canyon.
