Fjaðrárgljúfur

The earth, as carved by mother nature

Just west of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon has been hollowed out over millions of years by the Fjaðrá River. The walking path along the eastern edge of the canyon offers stunning views over the plains and glacial brooks below. The canyon is also noted for the curious shape of its rock formations, including one that looks like a finger, where legend has it a troll is buried.
