Hidden Gems of Iceland

This collection features unique sites across Southern Iceland, from the 1973 U.S. Navy DC-3 plane wreck on Sólheimasandur’s black sands to the isolated Þrídrangaviti Lighthouse perched on a basalt pillar. The list includes the reconstructed Viking-era farmstead at Stöng and the hidden Gljúfrabúi waterfall tucked inside a canyon. Explore the volcanic landscapes of the Gjáin valley, the Þjófafoss waterfall on the Þjórsá river, and Seljavallalaug, one of Iceland’s oldest outdoor swimming pools built into a mountainside.
