Otherworldly
Stuðlagil¹ used to be a hidden treasure, a narrow canyon beneath the deep waters of a glacial river.
All that changed in ≈ 2009 when Fljótsdalur power station became active, and Jökulsá á Dal river was reduced.
Incredible basalt structures in the ravine were revealed; towering hexagonal columns formed by the cooling and contraction of thick lava flows.
Strangely lovely and strikingly beautiful.
