Asbyrgi gorge |
North of Dettifoss is
this unique gorge, with near vertical walls and flat tops, that form a giant U
shape surrounding a straight sided rectangular rock island.

It is hard to
describe the 'wow' feeling looking at the near perfect linear vertical and
horizontal lines of this natural formation.

The hour long hike
started by walking across the bottom of the gorge, unique in being a flat plain,
with lush vegetation, quite rare to see such diversity of green plants in
Iceland.

climb up Asbyrgi gorge |
Followed by climbing up the near straight wall, via stairs and rocks
with the help of ropes to get to the top, which turns out to be not that
difficult.

The top is also full of herbs and low bushes, very easy walk along
the length of the gorge to admire the view.
