About
Selfoss is a 10-meter waterfall on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river in North Iceland.
The river drops over a number of waterfalls over about 30 km before flowing into Öxarfjörður, a bay of the Arctic Sea. The river originates as melt water from the glacier Vatnajökull and therefore the water flow varies depending on the season, the weather and volcanic activity.
