Dettifoss and Selfoss were two waterfalls about 35km east from Myvatn located in Vatnajokull National Park. Sunlight and waterfalls (foss) are a great combination for rainbows. Jokulsargljufur was a canyon that bisected Iceland from the Vatnajokoll ice cap to the Arctic Ocean.
Lonely Planet said the road was unsuitable for Claus. However, there had been some improvements hence the road was no longer a F-road. (Literally stood for F****** off-roads). The road sign did not have the F prefix but it really should for 4 wheel drive vehicles. 35km of loose gravel road was endless. Asbrygi was worth it though.
Hafragilsfoss is on route 864. It was at a higher elevation hence the view was epic. Drivng all day and from previous day meant that I did not have as much energy to enjoy everything else.
Asbyrgi canyon was another uniquely formed location, seemed to be the case in most of Iceland. It was a horseshoe canyon with forest and a haven for birds, a worthy destination.
