One of Iceland’s most visited waterfalls, after Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss is situated along the Seljalandsá river where the waterway plummets 40 metres over a cliff face. Seljalandsfoss is unique among waterfalls, as the shape of the cliff over which it falls allows visitors to walk behind the chute via a footpath at the base of the falls.
You can get to the waterfall from the Seljaland farm along the Ring Road. A little further to the west there are several other falls, among them the fascinating Gljúfrabúi.

Seljalandsfoss in the Seljalandsá river cascades 62 metres off the cliff edge. Upstream the river flows through Tröllagil (Troll Gorge) to Tröllagilsmýri (Troll Gorge Marsh), a lovely hollow with flourishing vegetation, before tumbling down over a series of waterfalls, and finally off the cliff edge at Seljalandsfoss. In addition to the main cascade at Seljalandsfoss, smaller streams tumble off the cliff at its western side. Seljalandsfoss stands in a lovely location, surrounded by cliffs and green slopes. It is a landmark visible from far away as a white streak against the dark cliff face. A footpath leads behind the waterfall (don’t forget your raincoat!).
Geology
From the plains of the Markarfljót river, the Seljalandsmúli outcrop is clearly visible, with the Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi waterfalls. The predominant rock type in the area is hyaloclastite (glassy volcanic aggregate), while tillite (hardened glacial till) is found behind Seljalandsfoss, along with patches of lava that flowed between the Gljúfurá and Seljalandsá rivers from Hornfell on Stóradalsheiði. The lava field, known as Hamragarðahraun, forms the upper layer at the cliff-top. At the bottom is hyaloclastite, and between them a layer of tillite.
