Aldeyjarfoss is a stunning 20-meter waterfall located in Iceland’s northern Highlands, where the Skjálfandafljót river plunges over striking basalt columns formed by ancient lava flows. Situated about 75 km from Akureyri in the Bárðardalur valley, it’s accessible via the F26 Sprengisandur Highland Road, typically open from late June to early September, depending on weather. Known for its unique beauty and less crowded setting compared to other Icelandic waterfalls, Aldeyjarfoss is a must-see for nature lovers and photographers. Visitors should check road conditions before traveling, as the area requires a 4x4 vehicle, and be cautious near the waterfall due to slippery terrain.
