Kirkjugólf, Icelandic for "church floor", is a flat surface of about 80 square metres at the edge of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, formed by the tops of basalt columns worn smooth by the sea and by glaciers. The many-sided stones look like a paved floor, although no church ever stood here; the site is protected as a natural monument.
Fjaðrárgljúfur is a canyon of the Fjaðrá river west of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, about 2 km long and up to 100 metres deep, cut into palagonite rock by glacial meltwater. A path runs along its eastern rim to viewing platforms above the winding river, and the eastern part of the canyon has been a protected area since 2024.
