Lónsöræfi
About place
The Stafafellsfjöll mountains dominate the skyline east of Vatnajökull glacier and have long included one of Iceland’s most extensive protected areas, known as Lónsöræfi. Besides the deep, rugged canyons, the landscape displays a wide range of colours due to rhyolite and other attractive rocks. In contrast, there are lushly vegetated, sheltered valleys, and a good chance of spotting reindeer. Numerous trails make this a perfect hiking territory.
