Gems of the North
This scenic tour begins with a visit to Dettifoss, Europe's most powerful waterfall, which stands 144 feet high and is 328 feet wide. We’ll also stop at Hljóðaklettar, the Whispering Cliffs, a bizarre-looking group of crater plugs and basalt columns with an eerie acoustic effect.
We’ll continue on to horseshoe-shaped Ásbyrgi canyon. Said to be the footprint of Odin’s eight-legged horse, vegetation abounds at the foot of the gigantic cliffs.
As we head back to Húsavik, we’ll drive along the beautiful Tjörnes peninsula.
