Iceland Studlagil Canyon

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

The fascination of this canyon lies in the contrast between the spectacular basalt columns and the turquoise blue water.
There are a few rock formations in the riverbed that are quite easy to climb up.
Unfortunately, this place is now also very well known, so it is better to avoid it at peak times.

Photography Tips

Try not to go at daytime because there are a lot of people.
Bring a wide angle lens.
