    Seljalandsfoss is a magnificent waterfall that drops 60 meters down from the cliffs above.

    Gljufrabui Waterfalls

    Just a short walk from Seljalandsfoss is Gljúfrabúi, a hidden gem tucked away in a narrow canyon. This waterfall is much smaller than Seljalandsfoss, but it is equally impressive in its own right. Visitors must wade through a shallow stream and climb up some rocks to reach the waterfall, which cascades down into a serene pool. The cave-like setting adds to the magical atmosphere of this unique waterfall, making it a favorite among photographers.

    The black sand of Reynisfjara is made up of basalt, which was formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. The beach is framed by towering basalt cliffs, which create a dramatic and otherworldly landscape. The waves crashing against the shore create a mesmerizing sound and add to the natural beauty of the area.One of the most impressive features of Reynisfjara is the Reynisdrangar sea stacks, which rise up out of the sea just off the shore.

Visitors can also take a hike to nearby cliffs to see the famous puffins, which nest during the summer months.
