Studlagil Canyon visit, Iceland (July 2022) 🇮🇸

Studlagil Canyon can be found in East Iceland in the Glacier Valley called Jokuldalur.

With the largest number of basalt rock columns in Iceland and a stunning blue-green glacial river to contrast, Studlagil is one of Iceland's hidden gems.

Studlagil Canyon was created when the force of a river so powerful forced its way from the Highlands to the North of the island.

With the introduction of a nearby hydroelectric plant in 2009, Karahnjukavirkjun, the area's landscape drastically changed.

The water level decreased, and with the hydroelectric plant harvesting the force of the water, the river became less fierce.
Now that the water has calmed and the level reduced, this natural beauty has received more attention and adoration from travelers and locals alike.

The views of the basalt canyon are amazing.

This was one of our favorite things to see in Iceland.
