Inside Fjaðrárgljúfur

This canyon is formed about 9000 years ago caused by the meltwater of the retreating glaciers after the last Ice Age.

 

The true magic of that place I found inside the canyon. The so-called trail into the canyon ended already after a few meters at the river Fjaðrá. After that point you need good gumboots or a strong resistance against cold water. I wore good gumboots, but after the first river crossing I needed a good resistance too. ;-) The reward after that little struggle was to enjoy the canyon in pure solitude. A truly mystical and powerful nature retreat.

 

Long exposure with LEE Big Stopper.
