Landmannalaugar is known for its natural geothermal hot springs and stunning surrounding landscape. Having the active volcano, Hekla, in its neighborhood makes it one of Iceland’s most unique destinations.

The area displays a number of unusual geological elements, like the multicolored rhyolite mountains, expansive lava fields and hot springs
It´s a must see for all who truly appreciate the beauty of nature.

Gjáin in Thjorsardalur valley is a pair of falls  within a lush garden paradise nestled within a rift zone. While the waterfalls themselves are attractive,  the rift zone setting is really beautiful in that it feels like you are entering a different place that contrasted from the typically dry and desolate desert highlands surrounding the area.

This is a lava area and the lava can take on such beautiful form. There are several lava caves in Gjáin and all over there is columnar basalt and volcanic tuff.

Látrabjarg cliffs is the largest sea-bird cliff in Europe and westernmost point of Iceland.  On a clear, sunny day it is sometimes possible to see the glare from the ice cap in nearby Greenland, only 278km (173 miles) away.

The great cliffs of Látrabjarg are one of the great natural wonders of Iceland. The vertical wall of layered basalt drops straight down into the waters of Breiðafjörður from such dizzying heights that the human eye fails to take it all in

Þjófafoss waterfall meaning “thieves falls” Apparently, the falls got its name because thieves were drowned here for their crimes, or that´s how the story goes 🙂 

Surrounded by vast lava fields with Mt Búrfell just behind it’s a beautiful waterfall

Lake Hnausapollur is one of two crater lakes of the Veidivotn System south of River Tungna in the south central highlands of Iceland. 

Beautiful blue crater lake that people should try to visit on their way to Landmannalaugar nature reserve

Home to Iceland’s wildest, most extreme scenery, the vast, empty interior can be accessed only by four-wheel-drive vehicles. It’s mostly uninhabitable volcanic deserts with beautiful oasis-like areas in between, like this one here
