Fjdrargljufur Canyon is an enormous canyon roughly 330 feet deep and a little over one mile long, located in southern Iceland. The canyon features steep walls and is slightly sinuous and narrow. Its base is mostly palagonite from the end of the last Ice Age, and it’s considered to be approximately two million years old. The river Fjaora flows through this impressive canyon, and the water is often low, so hikers are able to safely and easily wade across. Majestic waterfalls can be seen deeper into the canyon and visitors can return the top of the canyon via a pathway along the canyon’s edge.
