Skogafoss waterfall is near the city of Skoga and with its 60 m. tall it is the most short waterfall of the twelve that you meet in the Fimmvorduhals River. A legend say that a colon call Prasi hide a booty near this fall, but people don't find it yet. Maybe if you can!!!!

The whitest part of the glacier. The glacier is memorable because of its color; very unlike those I've seen in Switzerland, New Zealand & Canada.
Sometimes, contrasts in life are so much more interesting than the likes!

Climb up to this hill, use your 4wd wagon, and you will see, how the End of the World looks like. Then look back to see the mountains and at their top the snow and the glaciers. See how puffins are flying right before your eyes, so you could reach them.

This "small" waterfall are situated inside Seljaland Farm and it is very nice! People can go behind the waterfall but you must pay attention because there is a lot of water that fall down.

Near Skogar - Skogafoss & Seljalandafoss are 2 great waterfalls, the latter you can walk behind.
In Vik, walk up Reynisfjall, a cliff with fantastic views.
