Skutafoss waterfall

Mountain landscape with a waterfall

06/2021 This photo shows Skutafoss in southeast Iceland. Skutafoss is an imposing waterfall in Iceland, located in the southeast of the country near the ring road. Easily accessible from the town of Höfn, it is one of the region's lesser-known but nonetheless impressive natural wonders.

The waterfall tumbles down a high rock face into a narrow gorge surrounded by craggy rocks. The waterfall falls about 6 meters over a semi-circular rock edge. The water is crystal clear and has an intense blue color due to the glacier it comes from.

A special feature of Skutafoss is that it is situated in a relatively unspoilt area and is surrounded by lush greenery. Visitors can stroll along the river and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. There is also a viewpoint where you can view and photograph the waterfall up close.

Although Skutafoss is less well known than some of Iceland's more famous waterfalls such as Gullfoss or Seljalandsfoss, its beauty and remoteness make it a worthwhile destination for nature lovers and photographers looking to experience Iceland's unspoiled beauty.
