Seljalandsfoss, del río Seljalandsá, cae desde la montaña con una altura de 60 metros.
El entorno estaba helado, y no pudimos acceder a la parte de atrás de la cascada ya que se encontraba cerrada debido al hielo.
Seljalandsfoss - Iceland
Never underestimate the importance of travel!
During my recent visit to Iceland, I felt compelled to search for compositions that I had not seen in magazines or posted on the internet. There is something about new travel that I believe makes a landscape photographer look at scene composition more intensely. My latest blog goes in to a little more detail about this in a commentary regarding what I believe is a great subject for debate. “New Gear vs. New Travel.”

While I spent the previous evening photographing this waterfall from up-close, I decided to walk around the perimeter of the falls during the following morning and try to find a fresh location for a sunrise capture.
While not necessarily spectacular, I found great interest in this view. I liked the perspective and scene balance, and what is more important; no rain jacket was required to shoot this particular view.

Seljalandsfoss, Iceland.
Der Fluss Seljalandsá stürzt hier 66 m tief über die ehemalige Küstenlinie in die Überschwemmungsebene des Flusses Markarfljót, in den er kurz darauf mündet.
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. I think its claim to fame is that you can go behind it.
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. Nearby this waterfall are other smaller waterfalls including Gljúfurárfoss, which you can literally walk to from this falls.
EXPLORED Thanks!
In partnership with my friend and landscape photographer Slawek Staszczuk www.photoss.net/iceland.html, I’m organizing a week long photographic tour of Iceland in June 2016. I have already led several of these tours and I’m excited to be collaborating with Slawek for this year’s tour. It will be a small group, maximum 4 guests, in an RV. No luxuries, we’ll be moving all over the country focusing on the photography, 24/7. The tuition will include image editing for anyone interested. A reasonable level of fitness is necessary as there is some hiking involved. If you’d like a chance for 1:1 training in a stunning landscape, don’t miss out on this opportunity. Iceland Air flys from many direct locations in Europe and the USA.
Two spots left!
Everyone had already gotten completely wet, so it no longer mattered to stand behind the waterfall, although it was a challenge to keep your camera lens dry by having to clean it a lot :):)
Beautiful waterfall in the evening sun. 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 Eyjafjallajökull. 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 Amazi
ng Race 6.
Visitors gather beneath Seljalandsfoss south of Hvolsvollur in South Iceland. The 60 meter (197 foot) water fall lies on Seljalandsá, a river whose headwaters lies beneath the glacier that covers the volcano Eyjafjallajökull..The river falls over former seacliffs. The coast now lies a couple of miles west of the cliffs. The majority of the cliffs are made up of pillow basalt, hyaloclastites, and interbedded sediments which were deposited underwater during the Upper Pliestocene. The waterfall sits close to Seljaland, a farm in the lowlands north of the cliffs. The site is part of the Katla UNESCO Geopark.
Seljalandsfoss, au sud de l'Islande. Cette chute d'eau est visible depuis la route 1 et facile d'accès, le plus dur étant d'éviter le flot de cars de touristes. Notre logement se trouvant ce soir là à 10min en voiture, nous avons eu tout le loisir d'attendre le coucher du soleil sans être dérangés.

Seljalandsfoss è situata nella parte meridionale dell'isola, non molto distante da Skógar (e la cascata Skógafoss), visibile da lontano per chi viene da ovest. Ricordo di aver parcheggiato la macchina, nel vento gelido, ed aver scattato con uno zoom a 400mm
La nascita di questa cascata avviene per effetto del fiume Seljalandsá, il Fiume Liquido, che 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.
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.
Buona giornata

The Seljalandsfoss-waterfall is located on the south-west coast of Iceland, easily to be seen from the main road (Ringroad 1). Due to the convenient location and the relative short distance from Reykjavik (about 110 km) the waterfall belongs to one of the most popular touristic attractions. The nearest village is Hvolsvöllur being at 22 kms distance. Driving from Hvolsvöllur the Seljalandsfoss can be seen from a far distance. A distinct feature of the waterfall is that it is possible to walk behind the falling water eanabling to watch the waterfall from all points of view. The spray from the Seljalandsfoss, produced by the falling water, spreads all around. The spray also reaches into the cave-like area behind the fall and treats every visitor with a refreshing drizzle. Also the sound of the falling water that plunges from the top into into the pit 62 m. lower, contributes to a very special experience. The Seljalandsfoss measures 62 m. high, coming from the Seljalandsá originating in the Hamragarða- and Seljaland moors.

Seljalandsfoss is one of Icelands most beautiful waterfalls. It´s not the highest or mightiest but the fact that you can walk behind it makes it special. It is clearly visible from Icelands main ring road, first as a distant small white streak but grows ever larger as you approach the beautiful Eyjafjallajökull glacier, from which the river flows from.
The river is a fresh water river , not a glacier melt river. The cliffs in the mountains around Eyjafjallajökull, called Eyjafjöll, are covered with lush green vegetation from all the fertilizer which the nesting seabirds, which live there, bring to them.
This shot was taken on late evening on my way back to Reykjavík after a very successful photographic session around south and south-east Iceland with Lucie Debelkova.
Here's another view of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall in southern Iceland, taken directly across from the spot where I took the previous photo. This angle shows the path that takes you all the way behind and around the falls.

View of Seljalandsfoss (waterfall) taken during a driving tour of southern Iceland in 2012. The scenery was absolutely spectacular...
The tour company provided a great itinerary and a rental car. I just had to find the scheduled stops and not become too distracted along the way. Navigation was mostly simple; however, I did spend some extra time touring Reykjavík while trying to return the car...
The waterfall Seljalandsfoss is located in South Iceland nearby ring road number 1. The Waterfall is approximately 60 m high. It is possible to walk on a small path behind the waterfall.

Explored on 1st May 2012 - Thank you very much!!
A unique waterfall in the river Seljalandsá, about 30 km west from Skógar. It is 60 meters high with a foot path behind it at the bottom of the cliff, but with a thin cascade. It is the only known waterfall of its kind, where it is possible to walk behind it. The waterfall is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars.
