Skógafoss

The Skógá River, in the south of Iceland, forms one of the country’s biggest and most majestic waterfalls. Flowing directly from two glaciers, Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, Skógafoss has a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 metres (197 feet). Due to the amount of spray it consistently produces, a rainbow is always visible on sunny days. Climb to the top of the Skógafoss waterfall to be rewarded with a breathtaking view over the country's southern coastline.
