- Iceland, the famous "Land of Ice and Fire" is best known for its waterfalls, counting in the hundreds.
In this video we would like to share with you what we think are the top 8 waterfalls in Iceland.
00:11 - Svartifoss Waterfall
Svartifoss is located in the Vatnajokull National Park. It is 65-foot (20m) tall and the walk from the Skaftafell Visitor Centre takes around 45 minutes.
The hike is somewhat steep but quite easy.
Svartifoss means "Black Falls" because of the black lava columns surrounding the waterfall.
01:10 - Haifoss Waterfall
Haifoss is a 400-foot (122m) high waterfall in South Iceland.
When this waterfall was discovered it was thought to be the highest waterfall in Europe, hence the name Haifoss meaning "High Falls" in icelandic.
02:06 - Dynjandi Waterfall
Dynjandi, also known as Fjallfoss, is a series of seven cascading waterfalls and is the major tourist attraction in the Westfjords.
It's name translates to "the Thunderer" in English and Dynjandi cascades 100 m over terraces of basalt rocks.
03:04 - Godafoss Waterfall
Godafoss is very conveniently situated right next to the Ring Road making it one of the most visited waterfalls in Iceland.
While it drops only 40 feet (12 meters), it is 100 feet (30 metres) wide with high water volume and makes an impressive sight.
Godafoss means "The Waterfall of the Gods" in icelandic.
04:07 - Gullfoss Waterfall
Gullfoss is located on the Hvita River in South Iceland and is one of the most visited waterfalls in the country.
It drops 105 feet (32 meters) into a narrow gorge in two tiers and in summer there are often rainbows in the spray when it catches the light.
Gullfoss means "The Golden Waterfall" as it is a highlight of the Golden Circle, the most famous tourist trail in Iceland, easily accessible from Reykjavik on a day trip.
05:20 - Dettifoss Waterfall
Dettifoss is located in Northern Iceland around a 30 minute drive from the Ring Road and it is the most powerful waterfall in Europe.
The water drops 150 feet (46m) and it sends almost 200 cubic meters of water down every second. This amount of water results in a lot of spray.
06:18 - Skogafoss Waterfall
Skogafoss is very conveniently situated right next to the Ring Road in the village of Skogar in South Iceland.
It is 200 feet (60m) high and 80 feet (25m) wide. The high drop, high amount of water and its simplistic look makes this waterfall very impressive and
you are guaranteed to get very wet if you get close.
07:23 - Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
Seljalandsfoss is not far from the Skogafoss waterfall, next to the Ring Road and has the same 200-feet (60m) water drop.
You can walk behind it, getting a beautiful perspective of the falling water.
Doing so is definitely a great experience, but you do need to be aware that there will be a lot of water spray behind the waterfall and you might get very wet.
We consider Seljalandsfoss the most picturesque waterfall of Iceland.
