We have a “waterfall warm up” by taking our first stop at Urriðafoss, also known as the trout waterfall. The waterfall is voluminous, it falls down the margin of Þjórsárhraun lava field, which is the greatest lava flow on earth since the Ice Age.
We then hop back onto Highway 1 to continue our quest of spectacular waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Seljalandsfoss is just over 60m surrounded by beautiful cliffs and slopes. There is a footpath behind the waterfall where depending on road conditions we can actually take a walk behind the waterfall for a different view.Skogafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. Also measures around 60m in drop, it boasts a width of 25m. On sunny days it’s not unusual to to see double rainbow through the spray created by the waterfall.We continue towards the east on the south coast to Dyrholaey, which is a 120m high headland extending into the sea. Sea erosion has left its mark in the form of a giant hole, leaving the cliff looking like a giant door arch at the southernmost part of Iceland.Just around the corner from Dyrholaey we will also set our feet on the black beaches and rock formations, admiring powerful waves crashing up the cliffs at our last stop Reynisfjara. Here we will find not only black beach, but more notably the basalt rock columns and cave, and sea stack.
