Ännu en intressant plats på norra Island.
En "hästsko.
Jag låter Wikipedia berätta:
Ásbyrgi canyon lies in the north of
Iceland, about 50 minute drive to the east from
Húsavík.
and measures approximately 3.5 km in length and 1.1 km across.
For more than half of its length, the canyon is divided through the middle
by a distinctive rock formation 25 meters high called Eyjan ("the Island").
The canyon's steep sides are formed by cliffs up to 100 metres in height.
Down in the canyon, visitors walk through a woodland of birch and willow.
The small lake Botnstjörn is home to a variety of waterfowl species.
The river has since changed its course and now runs about 2 km to the east.
Legenden berättar att formen av en hästsko kommer från det att Odins häst, som hade åtta ben,
satte ner av sina fötter på den här platsen.
Längst in i "hästskon" finns sjön och en rastplats.
Här tog vi paus.
