Stuðlagil Canyon in East Iceland is a hidden gem with stunning basalt rock columns and a beautiful blue-green glacial river. Created by the force of a powerful river, this canyon was once inhabited only by sheep until a nearby hydroelectric plant changed the landscape. Now, visitors can marvel at the unique beauty of Stuðlagil, hike around the area, and even spot nesting birds in the spring and summer. Getting there may be a bit tricky, but the journey is well worth it for those looking to explore Iceland off the beaten track.
