Mountains and Fjaðrárgljúfur

Mountains and Fjaðrárgljúfur is one of Iceland's most stunning natural wonders. Located just a few kilometres from Kirkjubæjarklaustur, the canyon is 100 metres deep and 2 kilometres long with lush green slopes and a spectacular river at the bottom. The canyon was formed by glacier flooding about 8,000 years ago, and is home to interesting flora and fauna, including occasional whales in the sea nearby. Visitors are rewarded with stunning views from the nearby gorges that surround the canyon. The canyon's rock formation and phenomenal clear waters of the river contrast with the surrounding Icelandic landscapes and make it a popular destination for tourists. A hike near the canyon gives pristine views, while lookouts provide breathtaking perspectives of the depth of the canyon. A visit to Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon is a must for any outdoor enthusiast!
