Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a highly memorable experience for all guests who join us on this tour. This elegant waterfall is 60m high, just like Skógafoss, but much less powerful. It is fed by the Seljalandsá river which originates beneath the Ejyafjallajökull glacier, another example of how different forces combine to form the landscape and features of the Icelandic countryside. Famously, there is a walking trail running behind the falls here, offering a unique, though wet perspective!

This is a so-called glacier tongue radiating from the larger Mýrdalsjökull. After taking the bumpy road we arrive at the parking lot. This parking lot was once situated alongside the glacier itself. The parking lot has not moved but the glacier itself has sadly much receded in past two decades, so much so that the walk to the ice from the parking lot now takes around 15 minutes.

Vík is a small village which is the southernmost on Iceland´s mainland. With views of Reynisdranger basalt columns to the south, a black beach and a great panoramic view from church on the hill, this is a charming little enclave.

One of the most visited and beloved of all Iceland attractions, there is an otherworldly, elemental quality to the landscape here. The competing forces of lava and the sea interacted here to create a cliff of basalt columns, a large domed cave and of course the famous black sand itself. Steaming lava from an eruption at the nearby Katla volcano once entered the sea here and the power of the sea in turn eroded and broke down this lava into the black sand we see today.

Skógafoss Waterfall is a 60m high waterfall where the Skógá river terminates over what was once sea cliffs. The coastline has receded here leaving this stunning vertical waterfall behind. The intensity and power creates a permanent mist or spray around the area which can often lead to rainbows around the falls on a sunny day.
