These lower volume waterfalls are next to Seljalandsfoss, a 60 meter (197 foot) watefall in South Iceland.
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. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6.
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.
We got to this waterfall too late and as you can see, it was already dark, and extremely COLD. Well I wanted to try and get at least one picture of it, but I didn’t have a tripod or anything. So this picture was taken long exposure with very cold hands lol, hence the lack of sharpness. Even so, I’ve always liked the way the picture came out.
Seljalandsfoss was the first waterfall we visited during our first visit to Iceland and can be fully encircled, although it was very windy when we go there and the water was blowing around everywhere so we only walked partially behind the falls.It is situated on the South Coast of Iceland with a drop of 60 meters (200 feet).
One of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing! #iceland #nofilternecessary #iphone13pro #mothernature #iphoneography #iphoneographer #seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss is an impressive 200 foot waterfall in Iceland. You can even walk behind the falls to gain a different perspective, but make sure wearing a raincoat if you explore behind the waterfalls as the wind and mist can give you a good soaking!
We were waiting for sunset with raincoat, so cold for hour's waiting, fingers were frozen, body was frozen... the camera was covered with mist even with cover on it. The sun was not come out due to the thick clouds, just a little bit of sunset light.
Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 and the road that leads to Þórsmörk. The waterfall drops 60 m 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.
In August and September 2020, tourists were rare in Iceland. Luckily, at least one was in the right position to serve as a scale.

Seljalandsfoss es una cascada de Islandia. El río Seljalandsá, el 'río líquido', cae cerca de 60 metros en lo que en otros tiempos era una escollera sobre el océano (que en la actualidad se encuentra a varios kilómetros) y que hoy marca el límite entre las Tierras Altas y el resto del país. Es posible subir la cuesta de la cascada y contemplar el panorama desde el punto en que el agua se lanza al vacío.
My second picture of the amazing Seljalandsfoss in Iceland. This was taken about 30min before sunnset from behind the waterfall.
Seljalandsfoss è tra le più note cascate dell'Islanda. È rappresentata in molti calendari dedicati al paese scandinavo e copertine di libri sull'Islanda a causa del suo aspetto inconfondibile e della sua bellezza selvaggia. Tra le particolarità che rendono Seljalandsfoss una delle cascate più famose d'Islanda, quella di poter passare agevolmente alle sue spalle, potendo quindi osservare la cascata da una prospettiva opposta.
Il fiume Seljalandsá, il Fiume Liquido, cade per circa 60 m da ciò che in altri tempi era una scogliera sull'oceano (ora distante parecchi chilometri) e che oggi è il confine tra le Highlands e le Lowlands. Ai lati si inerpica un sentiero impervio che permette di arrivare dietro la cascata stessa ed ammirare il potente getto.
Seljalandsfoss è situata nella parte meridionale dell'isola, non molto distante da Skógar (e la cascata Skógafoss), e a poche centinaia di metri dalla Hringvegur, la grande strada ad anello che contorna tutta l'Islanda, visibile da lontano per chi viene da ovest.
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Iceland
Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland is one of the most famous and beautiful. The water is floated by Seljalandsá river and then drops 60 metres (200 ft) from the cliff. It is possible to go behind the fall. It is indeed very eye-catching.
One of the many magnificent waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is197 feet tall and you can walk behind it. The difficult thing is getting a picture without mist on your lens.
South Iceland.
This waterfall is an icon of Iceland. Chances are pretty good that if you make it to Iceland you'll wind up seeing and walking behind this waterfall. Probably the reason that it's so popular is both it's accessibility and the fact that you can walk behind it, besides the obvious fact that it's quite beautiful and if you catch it at the right time in the right light, you'll see a rainbow almost without fail. The best time for this is of course sunset or late afternoon when the sun hangs low in the sky creating the proper angle for refraction to disperse in the water droplets and reflect to your eye in that multi colored hue we call a rainbow.
The challenge is finding a time when there isn't literally hundreds of people. We passed by this spot many times and it was so crowded with tour buses and what not we couldn't park, let alone take a photo. We kept skipping it until one day we were driving by and there was almost no one there! We quickly went over, and not more than a few minutes behind us of course a couple tour buses pull in. I was able to get a few shots off before the herds moved back in.
