Díma in Lón

Díma is a rocky hill rising from the outwash plains of the Jökulsá í Lóni River, supporting diverse vegetation. The hill was once an island within the river, and its bedrock still bears clear evidence of erosion by flowing glacial waters.

Access and Information

The rocky outcrop of Díma marks the boundary between the farms of Stafafell and Þórisdalur. Its northern side forms a sheer cliff, where the Jökulsá í Lóni River flows today. The western, southern, and eastern slopes are also steep, and the only practical route to the summit is from the southwest, via the flood embankment that connects Díma with Dalsfjall.

Protection Status

Díma in Lón was designated a natural monument in 1975 and was subsequently fenced to protect the site. The protected area covers approximately 6.4 hectares.
