Where in the World Wednesday: Stuðlagil, Iceland

3/20/2019

The newly discovered Stuðlagil with its fascinating story at Jökuldalur valley in the Northeastern Region in Iceland is probably one of the most beautiful basalt column attraction on the planet. The cathedral-like cliff formation around the turquoise blue river is breathtaking. When you are down in the canyon, it feels like you have entered another world or dimension.

It may be worth it to mention that the river changes colour late in the summer. It is blue/green until august, when the dam at Kárahnjúkar releases surplus water from the reservoir into the river which in turn colors it murky brown. So it´s always better to visit this place early or mid summer if possible. You can see a 360 panorama from Stuðlagil here: https://www.iceland360vr.com/panorama/studlagil/ shot late in August after the river had turned from a beautiful blue color to the murky brownish colour.
