Jökulsárgljúfur

This is an amazing viewpoint over the large Asbyrgi Canyon, it's tall walls and small ponds below.

Photo Tips: It's kind of tricky to capture the whole scene, even the widest ultrawide won't get it all, generally speaking you have to merge a panorama unless you'll be satisfied with just a part of the whole scenery.

I'd have preferred more Autumn look, but didn't manage to come here late enough. If you can, the second half of the September or beginning of October seems to be the best time for great golden foliage.

Getting There: It's about 4km walk from the Asbyrgi Information Center and parking.

Along the magnificent valley of Vesturdalur, in between Ásbyrgi and Dettifoss, the highlights you must not miss are the bizarre basalt rocks at Hljóðaklettar. A series of vertical, horizontal and diagonal columns, formed by mysterious volcanic activity, standing over the ground and modeling rosettes, swirls, spirals and honeycombs, in turn give life to enormous and puzzling rock formations of distinctive shape.
