From Egilsstaðir, journey into the stark beauty of the north. Hike at the incredible Stuðlagil Canyon, feel the immense power of Dettifoss, and end the day exploring the geothermal and volcanic wonders of Mývatn.
Stuðlagil Canyon (East Side)
Hike to the breathtaking viewpoint of Stuðlagil, a canyon lined with some of Iceland's most magnificent basalt column formations, framing a turquoise glacial river.
Dettifoss
Experience the raw, trembling power of Dettifoss, Europe's most powerful waterfall by volume, as it thunders into the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.
Hverir Geothermal Area
Walk through the otherworldly landscape of Hverir, a high-temperature geothermal area with bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and a strong smell of sulphur.
Hverfjall Crater Rim
Hike the steep but short path to the rim of this massive, perfectly formed tephra explosion crater for incredible 360-degree views of the entire Mývatn area.
Dimmuborgir
Wander through the 'Dark Castles,' a labyrinth of dramatic lava formations, pillars, and caves. It's a surreal landscape steeped in folklore.
Cozy cabins on the lava field.
