Waterfall

Message from Ragga Ragnars

Aldeyjarfoss is a stunning waterfall located in the northern highlands of Iceland, known for its beautiful blue lagoon and unique hexagonal basalt columns. These columns were formed by rapidly cooling lava during an ancient eruption, creating a mesmerizing natural spectacle. Accessible via a highland track off Route 842, Aldeyjarfoss offers a less crowded alternative to the popular Goðafoss waterfall nearby. Don't miss this hidden gem on your Icelandic adventure!
