The Dverghamrar Cliffs, located in South Iceland, are a unique geological spectacle made up of hexagonal basalt columns set amid a beautiful horseshoe-shaped canyon. But this stunning landscape holds more than just its visual appeal; the cliffs are also home to an intriguing myth about mysterious singing dwarfs. Situated near the Ring Road between Foss a Sidu and Fossalar waterfalls, the Dwarf Cliffs make for an ideal stop-off on any self-drive tour of South Iceland. With an abundance of attractions nearby--including Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, Systrafoss and Stjornarfoss waterfalls--contemplating this ancient rock formation can be easily combined with a plethora of other activities in the area. So why not take a break and see if any magical creatures inhabit the Dwarf Cliffs?
