Drekagil Drekagil or Dragons Gully bears a rightful name. It is a dark and narrow place loaded with geological formations that can only remind you of another world with dragons and fairy tails. Although not exactly difficult to walk from the jaws of the gully to the end where you find a beautiful waterfall, it is a bit of a climb. Along the way you enjoy all the interesting formations. If you look up, you might see some of the dragons that watch over the canyon as if there is a hidden treasure somewhere. Askja Askja is an active volcano situated in a remote part of the central highlands of Iceland. The name Askja refers to a complex of nested calderas within the surrounding Dyngjufjöll mountains, which rise to 1,510 m. Askja meaning box or caldera in Icelandic.
