Studdlegill Canyon (Iceland)

Hearing the name Iceland, it seems that there is only snow all over the country. This is true to some extent, but nature has endowed Iceland with many other natural beauties besides snow. Iceland is home to some of the world's rarest forms, such as volcanoes, hot springs, glaciers, rushing springs, and lush green meadows. In fact, the Arctic Circle has Iceland as one of the most active volcanic regions in the world.

Iceland, a sparsely populated island, has been devastated by volcanic and seismic activity from time to time. However, Iceland has turned the catastrophic disaster that has befallen it into a blessing and has made extensive use of groundwater to provide electricity to people's homes and businesses. Today, Iceland derives about 4% of its energy from geothermal activity. Using such clean energy, Iceland's atmosphere is pollution-free.

An island in the North Atlantic Ocean between Greenland and Norway. Being in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun does not set in the Icelandic sky for two months, June and July. Which means it's about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well. Iceland, with its one-of-a-kind greenery and springs, is a place of natural beauty. About 90 percent of Iceland's territory is still uninhabited, and its natural beauty remains intact.

Iceland is very cold most of the year due to its proximity to the North Pole. Snow-capped mountains and huge reservoirs and glaciers are a haven for mountaineers and adventurers. Thus, the sun does not set in Iceland from May to July. At midnight the sun hides behind the horizon and returns shortly after.

The sun does not rise here during the winter months and much of the real territory is shrouded in darkness. But as summer approaches, the sun's rays continue to pound the earth, and spring seems to be sweeping across the region, and travelers flock to enjoy the unparalleled beauty of nature.

One of Iceland's many scenic spots, the Studdlegill Canyon, is often overlooked by travelers. Tourists and locals alike do not know much about this ravine, which is made up of the Yokhla Glacier, which flows through the region of Jokuldalur in eastern Iceland. Because until now this ravine was submerged but a few years ago when the water level of the river decreased, this majestic ravine peeked out. The ravines formed by these ravines are not like ordinary rocks in appearance but are hexagonal in shape as if someone had carved them with a monstrous motif.

According to geologists, volcanic activity is responsible for the formation of such unique hexagonal columns. One by one the lava flows from the volcano continued to move at a slower pace and formed one layer after another. These layers of basalt formed columns and became polygonal in shape. Standing at the bottom of the falls and looking up, the huge hexagonal columns seem to be a museum of modern art. At first glance, looking at the huge hexagonal pillars, it seems that this cave, which looks like modern art, must have been created by human beings. But this unparalleled creation has been done by the invisible hand of nature.

The black hexagonal rocks of basalt, the surrounding greenery, and the bluish green rushing water seem to have come to a mysterious place. It is easy to see the river flowing gently from the black basalt rocks, but it is very difficult to go near the river because the basalt rocks are very sharp and sharp. As it is difficult to bathe in the river, the pilgrims who come here are satisfied by standing on the hexagonal rocks and taking wonderful pictures.
