Stuðlagil Canyon: A Hidden Gem of Iceland

 

One of the breathtaking picturesque art of nature’s work, Stuðlagil Canyon, is located in the upper part of Jökuldalur Valley in east Iceland. The moment visitors see this marvelous basaltic rock canyon, they feel like they have been exported to a different planet. Until recently, Stuðlagil canyon remained hidden from the outside world, even the local population had no idea about this submerged canyon. Just a few years ago, when the water level of the river Jökla receded only then the canyon came in all its glory. With hundreds of basalt rock columns and the vibrant turquoise water of Jökla River that flows through it, makes it an irresistible subject for photographers.
