Stuðlagil canyon
Stuðlagil Canyon is a basalt column canyon located in the Jökuldalur valley in East Iceland. Known for its towering hexagonal basalt formations and vivid turquoise river, the canyon gained international attention after the flow of the Jökulsá á Dal River was reduced due to the Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant project.
