Visitors gather beneath Seljalandsfoss south of Hvolsvollur in South Iceland. Notice the hikers at the top of the cliff above the falls on the skyline. 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.
Seljalandsfoss est une chute d'eau du sud de l'Islande mesurant 65 mètres de hauteur. Elle se trouve à proximité de la chute de la Skogafoss. Sa particularité est la possibilité de passer derrière ce qui offre un nouveau point de vue et la rend plus impressionnante.

Rainy, foggy weather at Seljalandsfoss. After all, you get wet under this mighty waterfall even on sunny days.
The raw file was processed with DxO Filmpack. Based on a Fujifilm Sensia, I made further corrections until the result matched my idea.
"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 ( I don't think that bits true.. but its on the internet, so it must be! ). The waterfall is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars."
This place is another must see if you go to Iceland. I know it doesn't look any different to a lot of the pictures out there of it, but its my own version and that makes me happy. It would have been nice to get the sun setting on it but the time frames weren't kind to us on this one.
But what I do like about it is the old couple down beside the stairs... The last couple of posts have been of HUGE amazing places and it doesn't really show through the photos. Now finally there is a sense of scale!
Seljalandsfoss during sunrise (4 AM in the morning), shot from a multicopter 20 meters above the ground.
This should be a great view of the waterfall shot 100 meters above the ground. But because of wind and technical problems with the copter, I did not manage to bring it higher than 20 meters.

A closer view of Seljalandsfoss and the pathway that leads behind the waterfall. The river is formed by glacier melt from the volcano Eyjafjallajökull that famously erupted in 2010 and shut down air travel across much of Europe.
Thanks for the fave's and comments. You can see the rest of the pics of our trip to Iceland clicking here.
Seljalandsfoss è una delle cascate più famose dell’Islanda, situata nella regione meridionale del paese, vicino alla strada ad anello Hringvegur. La cascata ha un’altezza di circa 60 metri e si distingue per la possibilità unica di poter camminare dietro il getto d’acqua, offrendo una vista spettacolare da una prospettiva insolita. Il fiume Seljalandsá, che alimenta la cascata, ha origine nel ghiacciaio vulcanico Eyjafjallajökull.
Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, located in the southern region of the country, near the Ring Road (Hringvegur). The waterfall is approximately 60 meters high and is unique for the opportunity to walk behind the water flow, offering a spectacular view from an unusual perspective. The Seljalandsá River, which feeds the waterfall, originates from the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic glacier.
You can go behind the waterfall to take photos like this one. But everything will become very wet - the camera, the clothes - everything!
• Auf diesen Wasserfall der sich auch an der Südküste Islands befindet, war ich besonders neugierig, denn man kann den Seljalandsfoss vollständig umrunden. Die Kaskade des Wasserfalls ist relativ schmal, stürzt aber von einer 60 Meter hohen Klippe, die einst die Küstenlinie des Landes markierte. Durch den ständigen Wassernebel muss die Kamera gut geschützt werden.
• On this waterfall which is also located on the south coast of Iceland, I was particularly curious, because you can completely circle the Seljalandsfoss. The waterfall's cascade is relatively narrow, but falls from a 60-meter cliff that once marked the country's coastline. The camera must be well protected due to the constant water mist.
Hello... My name is Stefan and I have a waterfall addiction. I have no intention of getting "better".
Two years ago my husband and I were suppose to travel to Iceland for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
Covid caused us to cancel our plans.
Fortunately we are still here and healthy enough to go for our 52nd anniversary.
It wasn’t a long trip but it was an exhausting one.
Lots of driving, hiking and being awed by the sights we saw.
I had some camera problems which was frustrating.
My in camera light meter was only working sporadically and my wide angle lens gave me an error message when I wanted use it.
I had my cell phone so I used that camera as well.
I refused to let my camera problems spoil our trip.
I will try to vary my photo posts from the beautiful scenery to the sights of Reykjavik.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls in 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. 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 meters (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to go behind the waterfall.

A shot of this famous waterfall on Iceland's south coast. Taken at sunrise (about 11:30am!)
Normally I tend to avoid people in my images, but I left this figure in to keep a sense of scale.
A veces lo mas insignificante, visto con el prisma adecuado se transforma.
Llegamos a la catarata Seljalandsfoss, el espectáculo era impresionante. El agua, el salto, el sonido... tremendo. Para llegar a ella dejamos a un lado una caseta de madera con tejado verde sin ningún interés. Pero mientras fotografiaba la catarata levanté la vista, la luz había cambiado, el sol se escondía y solo tocaba ya la punta de la montaña, el cielo se teñía de colores preciosos, en el prado los matojos molaban. La escena con el caseto sin interés se había vuelto muy chula, y así, me lo traje...
