Gjain is a canyon on Hekla region. It's a romantic and bucolic spot in the middle of a volcanic desert. You can find waterfalls, rivers, lakes and rocks with strange forms.
It's like a little oasis with vegetation in a spot without sign of life. Not to far you can find the ruins of a viking farm from the 12th century abandoned after the eruption of Hekla.
