Subjects : the river, blue-green, which crosses beautiful basalt columns makes this landscape very suggestive and highly interesting from a photographic point of view. The difficulty in photographing the gorge in which the river passes surrounded by basalt columns lies in the fact that the place is often crowded with tourists.

Recommended equipment : I used my nikon d610 with a nikon 24-85 lens by hand. Depending on the period in which you go to this place the only problem is represented by the possible affulation of people, so it is a matter of having patience to shoot when there is no one in the frame.

Best months : Summer period, June, July, August and September, if only for its accessibility.

How to get there : Easy to reach the north side of the river, following the ring-road n°1 57 km from Egilsstadi in the direction of Akureyri you cross the detour to the road 923, after about 25 km you will find on the left a large parking lot with tourist directions. But the most photographically interesting part is located south of the river, which can be reached by going back on the 923 for about 8/10 km, until you spot a farm with a large and crowded parking lot, from where a walkable or cilcabile path of about 5 kilometers starts where you reach the river again.

Visits : The place is free and not fenced, being in the middle of nature there are no time problems.
