SKÓGAFOSS & SELJALANDSFOSS
Skógafoss is Iceland ’ s main attraction for good reason . The sheer force of the thundering Skógá River barreling over the towering cliffs of Iceland ’ s former southern coastline is just as incredible as it sounds . Over 80 feet wide with a 200-foot drop , Skógafoss is one of the largest and most magnificent of Iceland ’ s waterfalls in any season — winter with its dramatic icicles and summer with the surrounding rocky surfaces blanketed in lush green moss . Climb to the viewing platform at the top or explore several hiking trails around the falls and farther upriver . Don ’ t miss a stop at another of the country ’ s famed waterfalls at nearby Seljalandsfoss . Smaller and often less visited than Skógafoss , Seljalandsfoss boasts trails inside the caverns behind the fall itself for another perspective of this unforgettable region .
