The Eyvindarholt DC-3 Airplane Wreckage in Iceland is a lesser-known but fascinating site near the popular Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The wreckage of the Douglas DC-3, also known as the Dakota, has a rich history dating back to 1969 when it crash-landed due to strong winds. Despite being salvaged for parts, the fuselage was relocated to Eyvindarholt in 2023, where visitors can now explore and admire this iconic aircraft's legacy. Accessible via a short drive and a brief walk from the parking area, the Eyvindarholt DC-3 offers a unique and less crowded alternative to the more famous Sólheimasandur wreck.
