Waterfalls in Þórsmörk
Iconic Waterfalls of Iceland
This collection features a diverse range of South Iceland's waterfalls, from the 60-meter vertical drops of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss to the bright blue glacial waters of Brúarfoss. The list includes the 122-meter Háifoss, Iceland's third-tallest cascade, and unique geological sites like Gljúfrabúi, tucked inside a hidden canyon, and Nauthúsafoss, accessible through a narrow ravine. These landmarks showcase specific features including basalt columns, volcanic chasms, and pathways that allow access behind the falling water.
Gluggafoss
Also known as Merkjárfoss, this waterfall is unique for the "windows" or holes eroded into the soft palagonite rock through which the upper part of the falls flows.
Sigöldufoss
Located in the Highlands near Landmannalaugar, this waterfall is notable for its clear turquoise water and surrounding basalt column formations.
Hlauptungufoss
One of three waterfalls on the Brúará river, characterized by its vibrant blue glacial water and wide, rushing cascades.
Íráfoss
A tall, narrow waterfall located near the Ring Road, often visited as a quieter alternative to the nearby Seljalandsfoss.
Nauthúsafoss
Hidden within the narrow Nauthúsagil ravine, this waterfall is reached by a trail where rowan trees grow horizontally from the canyon walls.
