If you like waterfalls this is something for you. Follow Road nr. 1 from Reykjavík to the south.
Before you arrive at Vík, you come to this beautiful waterfall, Seljalandsfoss, where you can see 130ft of glacial melt water dropping off the edge of the highlands to the plain below. For the adventure minded traveler there is a footpath that runs to a hollow behind the fall, where it is possible to huddle against the spray and look out through the water. It makes for some great photos.
Drive on, and half an hour later you reach Skógarfoss, another waterfall. (Yes... there are a lot of them!) It is perhaps Iceland’s most impressive waterfall, although by no means the biggest. It is 200ft high and about 30ft wide (depending of course on rainfall and the melting of the icecap).
