Jötnabrúarfoss
About
Jötnabrúarfoss is a waterfall on the Grímsá river in West Iceland.
A waterfall in West Iceland. One of many cascades that make Iceland a waterfall paradise.
Quieter than the famous falls. More intimate. The kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think.
Fed by glacier melt and rainfall, this waterfall has been carving its path for thousands of years. The cliffs here were once Iceland's coastline before the land rose from the sea.
If there's a path, stick to it. The terrain around waterfalls is slippery and the moss is fragile. Iceland appreciates visitors who respect the land.
