📍 Seljalandsfoss, Iceland
#icelandtrip #icelandtravel #travelreels #waterfall #iceland
Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls, tucked along the south coast near the Ring Road, not far from the village of Hvolsvöllur. Fed by meltwater from the volcano-glacier Eyjafjallajökull, the falls plunge about 60 meters (nearly 200 feet) over a cliff that was once part of Iceland’s coastline before the sea receded. What makes Seljalandsfoss especially distinctive is the path that winds behind the curtain of water itself, letting visitors walk in a full circle around the cascade and see it from an angle few waterfalls allow — though the mist can leave you thoroughly soaked, so waterproof gear is a must. The surrounding landscape, all green fields and dramatic cliffs, has made it a favorite stop for travelers driving the south coast, and it’s especially striking at sunset when the low light catches the spray and turns it gold.
