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.

A colour photo of a deep, straight sided canyon with a milky river flowing through at the bottom. Along the top edge is a dirt path, worn by many sets of footsteps. A lot of greenery is still visible even though this is October. The ravine walls are comprised of long upright columns of rock twisted into odd and tortuous shapes. Some are almost vertical, others are stumpy and angled, but there are no straight lines. Its colours range from steel blue-grey to a rusty red.
