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.
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.
Though a mesmerising opportunity, visitors should be prepared to get dampened due to the perpetual mist of the falls, which also tends to make the rocks of the pathway slippery.

Taken around Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in Iceland. This was my favorite area in Iceland. It was breathtaking.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most stunning natural attractions of Iceland. The waterfall plunges over an undercut cliff, with a single clear drop of 60 m (196 ft) into a pool below in the meadows. It is one of the few waterfalls in the world where it is possible to walk behind and around the fall. There are a number of smaller waterfalls can also be seen along the cliff. From the waterfall, Seljalands River flows through a beautiful meadow.
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.
