River in Kerlingarfjöll

September 17, 2025 -- After leaving our accommodations near Egilsstaðir, we stumbled upon this humble canyon. I don't even know if it has a name.  While it shares the same river (Jökulsá á Dal), it wasn't as impressive as the canyon we were about to see (Stuðlagil Canyon). Lara smoked a cigarette while I explored it.

The feral reindeer of Iceland are mostly situated in Fljótsdalshérað in East Iceland. We stopped at a rest area where this deer figure was located. The scenery of grazing sheep and meadowlands was quite scenic near the rest stop.
