Tröllafoss waterfall

Tröllafoss

Near Reykjavík. You don't have to drive far to find waterfalls in Iceland. This one's closer than you'd think.

Öxarárfoss waterfall

Öxarárfoss

In Þingvellir National Park, right in the rift valley where tectonic plates meet. Small but perfectly formed. The Vikings used to gather here for their parliament. In winter it freezes into an ice sculpture. Easy walk from the visitor center.
