Listen to the haunting sounds

The ‘echo rocks’ or Hljóðaklettar, are a collection of basalt columns lying in every which direction to create unique formations and arched caves that are known to create eerie echoes and reverberations.

Located at the entrance to Vesturdalur, in the Vatnajökull National Park, the Hljóðaklettar area has two marked hiking paths originating at the site’s parking lot. One (a path marked in blue) is a 1 km easy stroll that will take roughly 30 minutes, while the other (marked red) is a challenging circle around the area that is estimated to take 2 hours to complete.
