Iceland Sigöldugljufur Canyon - Valley of tears
An impressive canyon with several waterfalls a bit aside from Landmannalaugar tracks.
One needs to be careful as there is no protection near the cliffs that are falling right in the canyon. Yet this provides a great view into the canyon.
This spot is a true gem in the Icelandic highlands. You can capture multiple waterfalls in a row and the water is extremely blue. Also worth checking it out with a drone.

Photography Tips
The spot is interesting in the morning (not too early to get light into it) and at sunset (in particular like here after a big storm. Bring a wide-angle lens to capture as much as possible. You must walk close to the edge to capture waterfalls and the rivers. Be careful!
Travel Information
There is a short track from the main park track close to the dam. This is a difficult rocky track that requires a strong 4X4.
