Message from Aron Tómas Guðmannsson

Gljúfrabúi is a hidden gem of a waterfall located in South Iceland, close to the more well-known Seljalandsfoss. It's like a secret hideout for nature lovers and photographers. The waterfall is tucked away behind a cliff, so you have to wade through a stream to get to it. But once you're there, you'll be blown away by its beauty. With mossy walls, silver mist, and black lava, it feels like something out of a fantasy story. And on sunny days, you might even catch a rainbow in the spray. Just be prepared to get a little wet and watch out for ice on the ground.
