Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, and Vik I Myrdal

We leave Gullfoss Waterfall and drive to Skaftafell, stopping at various sites wn route.

First, we visit Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which is noted for its height and the possibility to walk behind the curtain of water from one side to the other. We do this and get a little wet due to the wind blowing as we emerge!

Our next stop is Skogafoss Waterfall, one of Iceland's tallest waterfalls, standing at 62 m / 203 ft.

We also stop at Vik I Myrdal, a black sanded and rocky beach with basalt cliffs and their columns. We then stop off at the village of Vik to see the beach there.

As we drive on to Skaftafell, we stop off and have a short walk on a large lava field and see the moss growths on the boulders.

It's been a long day, by the time we arrive at Hotel Skaftafell!Read more
