Iceland's Hidden Gems

Explore the lesser-known wonders of Southern Iceland, ranging from the 1973 US Navy DC-3 aircraft wreck on Sólheimasandur’s black sands to the geothermal river of Reykjadalur. This collection features the secluded Gljúfrabúi waterfall tucked inside a canyon and the historic Seljavallalaug, one of the country's oldest outdoor pools. Discover the reconstructed Viking-era turf houses at Stöng Commonwealth Farm and the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Þjórsárdalur valley, including the multi-tiered waterfalls of Gjáin and the turquoise waters of Þjófafoss set against the Merkurhraun lava fields.
