Jokulsargljufur National park was established in 1973. Its area was 150 km² on a 35 km long stretch along the western side of glacial river Jokulsa a Fjollum. The northernmost part, Asbyrgi, was incorporated in 1978. The river canyon is about 25 km long and resembles the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It has amazing waterfalls, unusual volcanic formations, and some really cool basalt rocks (those that look almost human made, see the pics)
