Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon is a gorgeous canyon formed 9000 years ago and located just west of Kirkjubæjarklaustur by the main highway. The Fjaðrá River runs through the 100 meter deep canyon where visitors can, if they are prepared to, wade the river. On the eastern edge, there is a trail where you can walk alongside the canyon to view the amazing craftsmanship of Mother Nature.
