Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, located along the southern coast near the Ring Road. This stunning waterfall drops approximately 60 meters (200 feet) from the cliffs of the former coastline, offering a unique opportunity for visitors to walk behind the cascade via a footpath—an experience that provides a breathtaking view and a refreshing mist. The waterfall is fed by the Seljalands River, originating from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.
Historically, the surrounding cliffs were once part of Iceland's ancient coastline, offering insight into the island's geological evolution. Seljalandsfoss is easily accessible and is a popular stop for tourists exploring Iceland's famous Golden Circle route. Visitors should wear waterproof clothing to fully enjoy the walk behind the falls and capture the mesmerizing beauty of this natural wonder.
