Icelandic Water Wonders
This collection features remote water sources and glacial falls within Iceland's Fjallabak Nature Reserve and along the Laugavegur hiking trail. The selection includes the iron-rich red cliffs of Rauðufossar and the high-altitude geothermal activity at Stórihver. These sites represent the intersection of volcanic heat and glacial runoff, including essential stops like the Hrafntinnusker Hut, which serves as a critical drinking water station and shelter in the obsidian-rich central highlands.
Rauðufossar
Named for the red volcanic rock that forms its backdrop, this waterfall originates from the Rauðufossakvísl river. The distinct coloration is caused by iron-rich soil in the surrounding Rauðufossafjöll mountains.
Tungnaárfellsfoss
A remote waterfall in the southern highlands located near Tungnaárfell mountain. It is fed by the Tungnaá river system, which carries glacial meltwater through the volcanic landscape.
Ljósárfoss
A waterfall situated along the Ljósá river in the rugged Fjallabak region, accessible via highland tracks near the Laugavegur trail.
Storihver
A large, active geothermal hot spring and steam vent located along the Laugavegur trail. It is a major landmark of thermal activity between Landmannalaugar and Hrafntinnusker.
Hrafntinnusker Hut
Also known as Höskuldsskáli, this mountain hut sits at 1,100 meters on the Laugavegur trail. It provides shelter and a reliable drinking water source amidst obsidian fields and nearby geothermal vents.
