128 m tallHengifoss
Third tallest in Iceland at 128 meters. Red clay stripes in the cliff face tell millions of years of volcanic history. It's a solid hike up (2.5 km each way), but you pass another beautiful waterfall called Litlanesfoss on the way. East Iceland doesn't get enough love - this is why you should go.
30 m tallLitlanesfoss
Litlanesfoss is a waterfall in Hengifossá in Fljótsdalur, Eastern Iceland, also known as Stuðlabergsfoss. The waterfall is about 30 meters high and forms an apron in a cliff. The waterfall is in a large rock choir with an unusually regular supporting rock made of high and straight columns.
Vestdalsfossar
A staircase of waterfalls above Seyðisfjörður, climbing to Vestdalsvatn — the lake where a bead-rich Viking woman's grave was found in 2004.
