    Hiking

    Stuðlagil is an impressive example of the geological wonders that Iceland has to offer. The canyon is surrounded by massive basalt columns rising on both sides of the riverbanks. These columns were formed by the slow cooling of lava flows that flowed across the Icelandic landscape many millennia ago. This process created hexagonal columns that shape the breathtaking panorama of Stuðlagil today.
