Valley Of Waterfalls

OVERVIEW

See one spectacular cascade after another in Fossárdalur, the aptly named Valley of Waterfalls. There are so many waterfalls in this area that many of them have never been named, especially some of the more remote ones that you will behold. The juxtaposition of the clear mountains waters roaring down over the black volcanic rocks makes for beautiful photographs, as you will see firsthand at an abandoned farm with a backdrop of two glorious waterfalls. The peace and serenity will be overwhelming at times as the water plummets into the pools below. Flögufoss is another spellbinding waterfall as it spills over a v-shaped notch in a sheer cliff. Because the water rushes through such a narrow gap, the resulting waterfall is thinner than most. In contrast, the Beljandi waterfall is exceptionally low, stout and wide. It is photogenic from every angle so be sure to snap plenty of pictures.
