Seljalandsfoss is a stunning waterfall that stands 62 meters (203 feet) tall. The waterfall is a part of the Seljalandsá river and is fed by spring water originating from the moor Hamragarðaheiði. Many people believe that Seljalandsfoss is fed by melting water from the glacier-capped Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano that famously erupted in 2010 and affected air traffic throughout Europe. However, the water in Seljalandsfoss is bright and clean due to its spring water source.

The waterfall cascades into a beautiful meadow, making it look like a curtain over a tall cliff that once marked a coastline by the ocean before eruptions extended the land. A walking path behind the waterfall allows visitors to see a unique angle of the waterfall and its surroundings. This trail continues from behind the waterfall and around it.

Seljalandsfoss is among the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland, and for a good reason. It was featured in Justin Bieber’s music video “I’ll Show You” and was the first leg of the sixth season of the American series “The Amazing Race.”
