Fjaðrárgljúfur
Deep and winding river canyon, about 2 million years old. Walking path and panoramic views, moss covered cliffs, otherworldly. The river looks painted by nature, green walls and blue water, raw and beautiful. Parking is paid, 1086 ISK, there are toilets, and it is absolutely worth the stop, worthy every step. 🏞️

Lómagnúpur
The classic and busy view point of all the locations I’ve been in Iceland. But it’s a really photogenic the landscape perspective is the best in my option. Lómagnúpur is an impressive lump of rock right by the road between Vík and the glacier lagoon. You drive so close to it, scale hits hard, dark cliffs and green slopes, raw and incredible. If the weather is clear this quick stop is a must. 🗻
