Háifoss

One of Iceland's tallest at 122 meters. Located in a dramatic canyon with its smaller neighbor Granni right beside it. You'll need a 4x4 to get close, then a short hike to the viewpoint. Remote, uncrowded, and absolutely worth the effort. The scale is hard to grasp until you're standing there.
