Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk.
This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to go behind the waterfall.
Wiki, you got to love it :)

when I arrived in Iceland this year, the weather was unstable,heavy rain showers followed by sun made it hard to cycle, had to take of my raincoat at least ten times a day, overnighted in Hvolsvöllur, it was still clear weather at that moment, the next day I wanted to take pictures of Seljalandsfoss, when I woke up it was raining, went to a coffeshop to have a breakfast hoping for the rain would stop, but it didn't so went against the wind in the rain to Seljalandsfoss, was soaking wet when I arrived there, luckyly I could shelter and have something hot to eat and drink at a food stall, from under this food stall I was able to take some shots of Seljalandsfoss
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for*

Taken at the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
A perspective I haven't published before. Taken around sunset with the air filled with spray.
I revisited these shots with a different result in mind but was happy to be led in this direction.
The median of three shots.
This may be the last one from Iceland (no promises). The Aurora Borealis shines over the Seljalandsfoss and Seljalandsa. Freezing, windy, amazing.
It is hard to avoid taking photos of waterfalls in Iceland, they have rather a lot of very good ones!
The path leading to the rear of the waterfall was extremely icy. I made my way back there and managed to take several photos. it's an unforgettable experience!
Seljalandsfoss, one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland, you can walk behind it to take a picture behind but it only works during non tourist hours and when the sun sets right in front of it. This is the not so typical view, the falls being swept by the winds, sometimes the wind gets so strong the waterfalls go completely vertical. Here is my version of trying to be artsy artsy with the composition and light
Can you visit south Iceland and just drive past Seljalandsfoss without stopping? No, no you cannot. This is not allowed.

I fell over on the ice shortly after taking this photo and didn't know at the time that I had broken my ribs...
The waterfall drops 60 meters and is part of the Seljalands river that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano famously erupted under the ice a few years ago.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the best-known waterfalls in Iceland. It is 65 meters tall according to the National Land Survey of Iceland and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
The most distinguishing feature of Seljalandsfoss is a pathway that stretches around it. The cliffs behind the falls have a wide cavern, and rocks and paths allow guests to fully encircle it in summer.

Taken around Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in Iceland. This was my favorite area in Iceland. It was breathtaking.
This Waterfall is located in southern Iceland. You can walk behind it if you don't mind getting wet. If you do it, enter from the right, but if it's muddy, don't continue to the far end. Back track and go up the stairs on the left if you want to see it from the other end. If you're like me, and carrying too much photography gear, walking up slippery rocks in shin high mud can be dangerous. Nice waterfall though.

It’s impossible to capture the Seljalandsfoss waterfall in just one photo, but I think this angle gives you a decent sense of what the place is like.
The coolest thing about Seljalandsfoss is that you can walk all the way around and behind it. So for this shot I was about halfway behind the falls. The path I took to get there is on the left and the continuation of the loop is on the right. The Ring Road is just off a little way towards the horizon. For scale, that little black dot in the left-middle is a person.
The most challenging part of shooting from behind the falls was all the mist being kicked up. The wind changed directions constantly and it was tough to keep the lens dry long enough to fire off a clean shot.
At the far left of this shot the outstanding waterfall of Seljalandsfoss can just be made out. For that reason i stopped to take a long range shot of etc falls. The Puffin that forms the centrepiece was an afterthought. I will post a picture or two of the falls later as they really were spectacular. As for the puffins, we would have to wait a little while to get a good view.

A few months ago I was in Iceland for the second (and certainly not the last) time. I just realized that I haven't even posted all the results from the first trip years ago. Well, here's one from the archive. I remember standing on the slippery hill for a few hours, waiting for the drizzly gray sky to turn into this.
