In the same area, you can find two more stunning waterfalls, only a few minutes walk away. Gljúfrafoss is a wonderful 40-metre waterfall hiding in a narrow secret canyon. On the way to Gljúfrafoss, you see another glamorous waterfall, which proudly shows its beauty in a marvelous area, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and extremely fresh air. Make sure to bring rainwear, as you have a high chance of getting wet from the drizzle. Your next stop is the majestic waterfall Skógafoss, which means “forest waterfall’ in Icelandic. This is one of Iceland’s largest and most beautiful waterfalls, with a dramatic 60-metre drop (197 feet), and one of the few waterfalls that can be viewed from the top. During this journey, you can enjoy fine vistas of Sólheimajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers and Eyjafjallajökull volcano. We visit the famous Reynisfjara – also known as the Black Sand Beach. You will also be welcomed at this breathtaking place by massive basalt columns that have a special shape because of the way the lava cools. It is very rare to find such long and solid basalt columns anywhere else in the world. The photogenic Dýrhólaey cliffs are also very well seen in this area. These cliffs are a paradise for bird lovers, as puffins, razorbills, and dozens of other species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime.
