Waterfall

Message from Isleifur Eli

Svartifoss, also known as the Black Falls, is a popular waterfall in Iceland surrounded by stunning hexagonal basalt columns that give it a unique and magical appearance. Located in the Skaftafell Nature Reserve within Vatnajökull National Park, this 20-meter-tall waterfall has inspired artists and architects for centuries. The hike to Svartifoss from the Skaftafell Visitors' Centre takes about 30 minutes and offers a rewarding experience for nature lovers and photographers. Don't miss out on this one while exploring the beautiful landscapes of Iceland!
