A selection of seven among the hundreds of Iceland's scenic waterfalls. Featured are some very well known falls as well as some hidden treasures. This is not a «Top10» or «Top 7» list – it is merely the falls I came across on a Summer trip to Southwest Iceland.
Part of the footage was shot with DJI's Phantom 4 drone.
These are the chutes and places:
0:21 – Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss waterfall in south Iceland is an amazing waterfall that you can walk behind in summer. The fall drops 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull.
0:37 – Gljúfrabúi
This chute is also known as Gljúfrafoss. Gljúfrabúi means «one who lives in the canyon». This hidden beauty is located within walking distance north of the larger falls of Seljalandsfoss. Gljúfrabúi is partially obscured by rocks, but you can follow a trail to enter the narrow canyon where the water plummets to a small pool.
0:49 | 2:01 – Hjálparfoss
Hjálparfoss is a beautiful, two stepped waterfall north of the famous volcano Hekla near the point where the rivers Fossá and Þjórsá join, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of the village Flúðir.
1:00 – Small waterfall by the Ocean near Arnarstapi
Arnarstapi is a small fishing village at the foot of Mt. Stapafell between Hellnar village and Breiðavík farms on the southern side of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. There, you will find a number of small creeks, that plumed into the Ocean.
1:21 – Gullfoss
Gullfoss or «Golden Falls» is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Iceland.
2:47 – Skógafoss
Skógafoss is situated on the Skógá River in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coastline had receded seaward the former sea cliffs remained, creating a clear border between the lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland. Skógafoss is unique because the fall's water originates directly from two glaciers, Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull
3:15 – Small creek near Rauðhóll
Rauðhóll is a beautifully shaped scoria cone that was created in an eruption about 5-8'000 years ago. There are two hiking trails, one along the creek of Stökklar where this footage was taken.
