Seljalandsfoss

The Ring Road (Route 1) goes around the outskirts of Iceland and offers an amazing amount of versatility and beauty in it's landscapes.

 

This is Seljalandsfoss, which was one of my favorite waterfalls on our first trip to Iceland. It is 60 meters high and looks even more beautiful in the summer, with the lush green grass and flowered fields seeming to stretch for days into the distance along the cliff side.

 

 

From Wikipedia:

Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 (Iceland) and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls and natural wonders in Iceland. The waterfall drops 60 meters and is part of the river Seljalands-river that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajokull. One of the interesting things about this waterfall is the fact that visitors can walk behind it into a small cave. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6
