| Thundering water beats the pool. |
One thing Iceland has enough of, is waterfalls. Spectacular waterfalls. Pretty waterfalls. I had a lot of miserable weather in Iceland, but at the Seljalandsfoss in the south east i was greeted with a sun. Creating rainbows in the water droplets thrown away from the riverbody after the fall from above.

| The frontal view of the Seljalandsfoss. Foss means waterfall. It is close to (and visible from) the ringroad, meaning easy access and at times way to many visitors. |
 |
| The extra surprise of the Seljalandsfoss-a trail going behind the waterfall itself. |
 |
| Looking up. The fall is 60 meters tall and fall down what used to be the coastline. Now the coast in the imminent area is flat. |
Most of the coast on this part of Iceland is now flat-so there has been a major shift!
 |
| A pretty and easy walk along the cliff brings you pass a couple of more waterfalls. This one, the Gljufurarfoss, being the most remarkable. It has cut itself a little canyon-it is almost like a tube. It is a fun experience to walk into it-but a wet one! And despite the proximity to the Seljalandsfoss, only a fraction of the visitors continue to this waterfall. |

| A section of the top of the Gljufurfoss. The water caressing a stone before letting go. There is a trail-vague in places and obviously steep in places-leading to the top. |
