Merkigil

The farm Merkigil in the remote Austurdalur (Eastern Valley) in Skagafjörður in North Iceland. Below the farm houses is a canyon carved by a glacial river, which runs the entire valley. Despite this perilous setting, the valley was once populated with up to 20 farms. Merkigil was the last one to be abandoned, after the last inhabitant died in an accident in a nearby canyon in 1997.
