The Grapevine's take
Ásbyrgi
This forested, horseshoe-shaped canyon is at the northern end of Vatnajökull National Park. It was carved by glacial flooding several millennia ago, and it’s at once breathtaking and ominous in its magnitude. Drive down to the pond in the crook of the canyon, beneath towering cliffs, or turn off Route 85 and walk to the tip of Eyjan, the “island” of rock that was once the canyon’s northern bank, if you’d rather hike in the vast blanket of vegetation.
