Stuðlagil Canyon, stunning basalt columns

The stunning Stuðlagil Canyon in Iceland, showing off amazing hexagonal basalt columns! You can walk into the canyon and climb over the columns from the southern side - there's a car park and a short easy hike to it. Be careful, if you go to viewpoint on the bluebell northern side of the canyon you can't climb down into the canyon, you can only go down a steep set of stars to the viewpoint, so the hike is definitely recommended, the turning to cross the river a couple of kilometres north of the canyon itself. This was one of the best things we did on our week in Iceland and I would absolutely do it again, great fun! #iceland #hiking #geology
