Twin falls

Háifoss waterfall (122m).

 

The waterfall is surrounded by geological layers which tell the story of past glaciations and deglaciations of South Iceland. The brownish hyaloclastite in the bottom half is formed during volcanic eruptions underneath a thick glacier. The gray top of the wall is however made out of products of effusive eruptions, occurring in ice-free conditions.
