Ces cascades sont situées sur la rivière Seljalandsá et chutent de 60-65 m. Elles dont aussi les seules en Islande où un chemin permet de passer derrière. Leurs eaux proviennent de l'Eyjafjallaajökull (glacier sur les montagnes proches des îles), 6ème glacier d'Islande avec 78 km² de superficie (cf. Wikipédia)
Merci Camille pour la photo et Joe pour cette autre photo :

Returning to previously visited locations when the weather improved was a real treat indeed.
The Ring Road (Route 1) goes around the outskirts of Iceland and offers an amazing amount of versatility and beauty in it's landscapes.
This is Seljalandsfoss. It is 200 feet high and an incredible sight to behold. The wind blew the water to the back, front and sides of the waterfall which formed some intense ice formations.
From Wikipedia:
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6.

A waterfall that you can walk behind (so long as you are willing to get a bit wet:) Keeping the camera dry enough, for long enough to take a photograph, is also quite a challenge.

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.
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 es una de las más cascadas populares. Se encuentra en el sur de Islandia, entre Selfoss (la ciudad) y la cascada Skógafoss. En realidad, está muy cerca del famoso Eyjafjallajökull, el volcán subglacial que en 2010 colapsó los aeropuertos de medio mundo.
La cascada, que tiene la particularidad de que se puede caminar detrás de ella, se precipita unos 60 metros, desde lo que fácilmente podemos reconocer como acantilados de la antigua línea de costa de Islandia. Cuando tras la época de glaciación el glaciar se fue retirando, la tierra bajo este se “levantó” al dejar de soportar semejante peso además de que el propio glaciar fue dejando sedimentos que hicieron que la línea de costa aumentara en unos kilómetros.

I shot this with a ND filter to allow for a longer exposure. I visited the waterfall on a tour of the southern coast of Iceland and only stopped here for a few minutes.

Seljalandsfoss 40 meter (131ft) high waterfall on the river Seljalandsá. There is a foot path at the bottom of the cliff where you can walk behind the waterfall without getting too wet.
My first go with my new 10ND filter. This took 36s and then I converted it to monochrome. Though the colour version is pretty good too.

Seljalandsfoss is arguably Iceland's most famous waterfall because you can hike through the back of it and view it from the inside out. I read that it is the only known waterfall where it is possible to do this. The waterfall drops 200 feet from rocks above into a serene little pool below.
One of the most spectacular waterfall I've ever seen. Actually you can walk from behind, take the shot, and get all wet!
Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall that can be fully encircled, situated on the South Coast of Iceland with a drop of 60 meters (200 feet).
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.
