Seljalandsfoss

Returning to previously visited locations when the weather improved was a real treat indeed.

 

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. It is 200 feet high and an incredible sight to behold. The wind blew the water to the back, front and sides of the waterfall which formed some intense ice formations.

 

Traveling up the cliff and around behind the waterfall was very treacherous with all of the ice. It was very wet and slippery, people were falling left and right. I had to frequently dry my lens from the spray of the waterfall as well. That said, it was a really awesome feeling being behind the falls, feeling their power from up close.

 

From Wikipedia:

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6.
