Have you been to this canyon? East Iceland is full of hidden beauty like this! 🌊
Do you know this site as been hidden under the river Jökulsá á Dal until the dam was build, just a few years ago. You can now hike this beautifull canyon in East Iceland! Only 50 minutes of drive out of Egilsstaðir.

Some artists from Iceland get really inspired from this canyon. As you can see this ceramic is inspired by thoses basalt columns. Thoses columns are made when the lava cools down from a fracture that has a geometric pattern. There is alot of places in the world where you can observe thoses columns, but Iceland has the most columns and best spot to observe them 🌿 🌸
