Stuðlagil Canyon Viewpoint is an enchanting and picturesque destination located in East Iceland in the Glacier Valley called Jokuldalur. This hidden gem is home to one of the largest collections of basalt rock columns in the country, with a stunning blue-green glacial river to contrast them against. The area has an off-the-beaten-track feel; the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a great spot for photographers, outdoor adventurers and nature lovers alike to explore and admire the spectacular natural beauty that this region has to offer. There are plenty of hiking trails as well so you can really feel it's wildness! Be sure to make some time for this remarkable spot during your next visit to Iceland.
