Distances on the cards are straight-line from Reykjavík.

Rauðfeldsgjá canyon

Rauðfeldsgjá

109 km from Reykjavík

Narrow gorge on Snæfellsnes peninsula. You can climb into the dark crack in the mountainside. The gorge leads to a hidden waterfall inside the mountain. Slippery rocks and cold water - not for everyone. Easy to find along the Snæfellsnes road. The adventure is the climbing, not the distance.

Kolugljúfur canyon

Kolugljúfur

147 km from Reykjavík

Beautiful canyon in northwest Iceland. Kolufossar waterfall inside. Legend of giantess Kola. Easy viewpoint access.
