This canyon is ICONIC!!! It was carved by ancient glaciers and is one of the prettiest stops on the South Coast. A marked path follows the edge of the canyon, with amazing views of the winding river below. The walk is fairly easy and takes about 1–1.5 hours, making it a great option if you want epic scenery without a tough hike.

Parking at the lower lot costs 1,000 ISK (about 7 USD) for standard passenger cars, while the upper parking area is free
