The Most Beautiful Waterfalls In Iceland You Must Visit

Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and also one of its most underrated. Of course, it gets its fair share of tourism throughout the year, but many neglect this wonderful destination because of its remote location and lack of hot weather.

We think they’re missing out, not least because Iceland is home to some of the most stunning natural beauty you’re ever likely to see. One of Iceland’s most iconic features is its range of waterfalls, so without further ado, let’s have a look at some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. Make sure to add these to your travel itinerary!

Hrafnbjargafoss

This incredible waterfall must be seen to be believed; it looks like something from a science fiction movie. Water cascades over the sides of mighty glaciers, creating a unique vista that you’ll want to treasure forever.

You’ll have to travel to northern Iceland to get to this natural wonder, but once you’re there, you’ll be able to see the Raven Cliff Falls, as the name Hrafnbjargafoss translates to, in all their glory. Looking down into the chasm into which this waterfall pours is truly magical.

Skogafoss

If you’re staying closer to Iceland’s southern coast, then you should definitely make time to see Skogafoss. Unlike Hrafnbjargafoss, which is rather inconvenient for close study, Skogafoss lets you get up close and personal with it.

Thanks to its location and the relatively calm terrain around it, you can walk up to the falls themselves and let them splash you a little (although we wouldn’t recommend getting too close, lest they sweep you away). You can easily access this waterfall from Reykjavik, too.

Aldeyjarfoss

You’ll find the Aldeyjarfoss waterfall along the same river as the aforementioned Hrafnbjargafoss, so it’s worth making time to see both falls in the same trip if you have time.
