Seljalandsfoss in Iceland breaks into several streams that cascade down onto rocks below. This is the left most arm of this waterfall where it terminates in wispy strands as it pounds a green moss colored rock at its base.
Tricky exposure, as they light this waterfall at night. When the snow and ice are gone, shots are easily taken from behind the waterfall. You could do it in winter, but you need crampons. I had ice cleats, but I wouldn't trust them on the ice inside; multi-point crampons provide more stickiness.

The view from Seljalandsfoss. Interesting to note is the washed-out area near the top of the photo which is a result of the recent Eyjafjallajokull eruption.
Seljalandsfoss is situated between Selfoss and Skógafoss, where Route 1 meets the track going to Þórsmörk.
Seljalandsfoss was quite special. It was the only waterfall we visited that we could go around, literally. The downside was that one couldn't take pictures from behind the waterfall, because he had water drops on the lens in a second.
Still, my friend Choze managed to get a shot of me, which you can see below along with my other shots of this waterfall.

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.

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.

Day 3: We leave Reykjavik and head off to explore the rest of the country. We travel in bus, across the coastal road, with the aim to circumnavigate the island in 2 weeks. On the way we see diverse landcapes - from barren wastelands to lush meadows, from glacial tongues to boiling mudpits. And waterfalls. Lots and lots of waterfalls.
