Fjaðrárgljúfur is a beautifully colorful, popular, and according to Icelanders, the most beautiful canyon in the world.

Fjaðrárgljúfur was formed by erosion, stretches about 2 kilometers in length, and its walls reach up to 100 meters in height in some places. The Fjaðrá River flows through the canyon, and the Mögáfoss waterfall cascades into it.
