Skogafoss
We left Reykjavík bright and early and began our journey to South Iceland. The most amazing thing about Iceland is that all the different regions have very different terrains and our drive from Reykjavík to Vík went from green to black, literally. Seljalandsfoss was our first stop. Part of the river Seljalandsá, Seljalandsfoss has its origins underneath the glacier Eyjafjallajökull and has a drop of 60 metres (200 ft). The most unique feature of this fall, however, is the pathway that stretches all the way around it. The cliffs behind the falls have a wide cavern, and rocks and paths allow visitors to fully encircle it. Note that you will get wet! But it's totally worth it! We decided to walk along the path to dry off a bit and stumbled upon a hidden gem known as Gljúfrabúi. It is a waterfall inside a canyon and you can access it by traversing over water. It is so so so cool because water plummets into a small pool from above. Haha so much for drying off!
