There are few phenomenons in Iceland’s nature as powerful and symbolic as waterfalls. They are landmarks, destinations, spectacles. We Icelanders may not recognize many mountains from a distance, but we can identify waterfalls from a picture. We have visited them or seen them from afar on our journeys around the country. They are everywhere. Magnificent in their ability to carve and transform the landscape over thousands of years. Unstoppable. Here is a selection of waterfalls that make us return to listen and to see nature in its purest form. Photos taken at a bad time or maybe in bad weather.
