Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss from behind, framed by the mouth of the cave in the cliff as an August sunset lights the coastal plain. This is the reason to come: it is one of the few waterfalls you can walk behind, on a path that loops through the hollow under the overhang. The fall drops about 60 m over the old coastline of south Iceland. Late evening in summer gives exactly this light, with the sun low behind the curtain. Expect to get wet on the loop, and wear shoes with grip, since the rocks behind the water stay slick.
