Canyon
Sigöldugljúfur Canyon
A hidden jewel of the Icelandic Highlands, Sigöldugljúfur is also called the “Valley of Tears”. Countless fine waterfalls trickling down its lush, moss-covered basalt walls and the bright turquoise glacial water at its bottom make it one of the country’s most photogenic and spellbinding canyons.
