I came to Fjaðrálgljúfur Gorge in Iceland. It is a valley along National Route 1, and you can get there by rental car, but the road becomes unpaved halfway through. There is no entrance fee, but parking costs about 1,000 yen per car. The view from the observation deck is nice, but be careful as the wind is very strong. You need to walk about 30 minutes from the parking lot to the observation deck. Iceland has otherworldly nature everywhere, so you will never get bored of driving and sightseeing. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SXquKY3dy3ah7cjr6 #0yentripFebruary2025#Iceland
