Svartifoss Plunge

The cold waters of Svartifoss detach themselves from the confines of the surrounding basalt for a brief splendid few moments before catching and gathering once again amongst the rubble of toppled columns, and speeding down toward the North Atlantic, Skaftafell National Park, Iceland. Despite the thin soil, a rich community of plants is nurtured by the constant spray of water. Toward the right, my 8-year old son hops nimbly from stone to stone as he tries to determine just how close to the falling water he can get without having to walk in it.
