Dettifoss, Selfoss & Hafragilsfoss Essentials

Located within the Vatnajökull National Park in Northern Iceland, this trio of waterfalls on the glacial Jökulsá á Fjöllum river showcases the raw power of the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon. Dettifoss stands 44 meters tall and 100 meters wide, discharging an average of 193 cubic meters of water per second. Upstream, the horseshoe-shaped Selfoss features a series of elegant, multi-tiered drops. Downstream, Hafragilsfoss offers a 27-meter drop with panoramic views of the surrounding 120-meter deep volcanic canyon walls.
