Frozen Seljalandsfoss - First proper day trip in 2021
Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall drops 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Visitors can walk behind the falls into a small cave. (wiki)
Seljalandsfoss waterfall, part of the river Seljalandsá, has its origins underneath the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano beneath this ice cap was the one that erupted in 2010 and caused havoc at airports across Europe.
The cascade of the falls is relatively narrow but falls from a tall cliff that once marked the country's coastline, the sea is now located across a stretch of lowlands and is visible from the site.
Seljalandsfoss, Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is one of the best-known waterfalls in Iceland. It is 200 feet tall and can be fully encircled.
The next stop on what seemed like a day full of waterfall tours was the impressive 200 foot high Seljalandsfoss.

ABOUT THE SERIES
------------------------------
In September 2011, my wife and I went to Iceland for a two week honeymoon. The trip was such an incredible experience. We started in Reykjavík and drove around the outside of the county counterclockwise. Although we made hotel reservations ahead of time, our day to day itinerary wasn't planned in advance so we could see/do whatever we felt like.
Iceland is such a diverse and amazing place. I've never seen such beauty, breathtaking landscapes, and an assortment of scenery anywhere else. One moment you're walking on a glacier and the next you're hiking through a lush landscape to a waterfall. Mid to late September seemed like the perfect time of year to go. There were no crowds at any of the sites, we had our pick of where to stay, and the weather was fantastic.
If you've never been to Iceland, photos (mine or anyone else's) don't really give it justice. It's somewhere you have to see and experience in person.
Ahead of my return visit to Iceland, I've been looking at the photos I took last time, and picking some out that I didn't share before.
This shot is very similar to the one I shared the other day, but it's a slightly wider angle. I prefer the composition in this one, using the widest angle I had (16mm), but I prefer the cloud and colour in the other one. It's amazing how quickly they were changing at the time.
One of my favourite waterfalls, mainly due to the fact that you can walk behind it. Also quite popular as you can see it from Road 1 from miles away.
Got plenty more from other angles, but I like this one in square crop. I'll put the others up another day
Seljalandsfoss is a beautiful waterfall along the southern coast of Iceland. It cascades over steep cliffs, which makes it possible for you to walk behind the waterfall. It offers a spectacular view of the waterfall itself and the surroundings.
Taken around Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in Iceland. This was my favorite area in Iceland. It was breathtaking.
When I arrived there, I have had the idea to capture the fall by night but I didn't know that it was lit by spotlights. Nevermind I took the shot.

Hinter dem Wasserfall ist der Fels ausgehöhlt und man kann deshalb hinter dem Wasservorhang durchlaufen.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6 :) and probably the waterfall in Iceland that is most photographed along with Gullfoss. I like to go there in the night at winter time because the lightning is amazing as well as there is much less traffic :0) This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline.
Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk. That means that right now it is not accessible due to flood down Markafljót river from Eyjafjallajökull because of the eruption. I just hope that this area as well as many others on the area around the eruption site will not be damage to much after all this.
Hope you all will have a great Tuesday and thanks for visiting my stream...

Yes, ANOTHER waterfall.
This one's pretty unique as you can actually walk around the edge and stand behind the waterfall.

Words can't describe the awe of this scene, so I won't even try.
But I can tell you how difficult it was to get this shot. Though it looks like the waterfall is far from the camera, the mist was omnipresent, and my tripod was setup on wet slippery mud. Since I could only take off the lens cap off for about 3 seconds before the mist covered the lens, it was extremely difficult to compose, focus, and shoot, let alone get 3 bracketed exposures to create the HDR.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars.

Another waterfall ;o) You get loads of these in Iceland.
Well, this one is something special because you can walk behind the waterfall on a very slippery path and after some rock clambering you'll end on that bridge in the picture.
Because it was so wet I took most of these pictures with my compact camera, which is waterproof.

Noch ein Wasserfall. Davon gibt es in Island reichlich.
Der hier ist aber irgendwie schon anders, weil man nämlich hinter ihm stehen und (bei entsprechendem Wind) komplett nass werden kann. Der Weg war ziemlich nass und rutschig und dann musste man auch noch über diverse Steine klettern, bis man dann auf der Brücke gelandet ist, die man hier auf dem Foto sieht. Darum habe ich die meisten der Bilder mit meiner Kompaktkamera gemacht. Die ist wasserdicht....
Alle Bilder anklickbar.
During the Summer Solstice, the sun never fully goes down in Iceland. It sets around 11:30pm-12:00am, and then begins rising around 2:00am or so. This results in either a long, glorious and seamless sunset to sunrise scenario, or a nice gentle and even overcast light for several hours. We planned our trip so that we would be near some of the waterfalls I wanted to photograph on many nights of the trip, which led to me spending many late nights alone at some of the most epic waterfalls while my wife rested back in our room.
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.
The sunset I received on this evening was serene and dramatic. The wind was kind, so I was able to spend a significant amount of time behind the waterfall without getting my equipment too wet.
These shots were all taken between 11:30pm and 1:30am local time, using Lee graduated filters to help control the exposure.
