Herdubreydalindir Oasis is one of the most remarkable and mysterious oases in the world. It is located in the highlands of Iceland, right in the middle of the world’s largest lava desert — Odadahraun.

This enchanting oasis, with its tongue-twisting name, is surrounded not by sand, but by vast fields of volcanic lava created by the Trolladyngja volcano. Long ago, this remote and barren region was a refuge for outlaws — criminals banished from society. Today, it attracts curious travelers who come to hike through the cracked volcanic valleys, admire the surreal landscapes, or even dive into one of its nearby lakes. 😍
