Svartifoss was perhaps the signature attraction of Skaftafell National Park in the East Region of Iceland. The reason why we made this claim was that it possessed pronounced hanging hexagonal basalt..

The waterfall near Djupivogur is how I’m identifying this obscure waterfall that grabbed our attention as we were making the very long drive on the Ring Road between Egilsstaðir through Höfn and…

The other Seydisfjordur Waterfalls are what I’m clumping into this page to acknowledge the numerous waterfalls to be seen here. Most of them are on the river running from the mountain…

Jonsfoss was the obscure waterfall near the turnoff for the road leading from the head of Lagarfljót to the controversial Kárahnjúkar Dam. We had initially cast off this waterfall as one of those…

Gufufoss is the largest and most striking waterfall in Seyðisfjörður. It plunges on a river full of smaller but powerful waterfalls as it makes it way down alongside the…

Fardagafoss seemed to be a a pair of attractive waterfalls just upslope from the town of Egilsstaðir. The uppermost tier itself contained a pair of attractive drops back-to-back against cliffs…

Hengifoss was the star waterfall attraction of the Eastfjords area around Lagarfljót and the town of Egilsstaðir. While this waterfall was said to be the third tallest waterfall at 118m…

Lagarfoss disappointed us because we came here expecting to see something major considering it was well labeled on our map as well as seemingly well signposted. However, all we ended up seeing…

Godafoss was one of the more famous waterfalls we encountered while driving the Ring Road through the Mývatn District of Iceland’s Northeast Region. It was a wide 12m tall waterfall on the…
