About

Stjórnarfoss is a waterfall on the Stjórn river in Iceland's South Coast.

Just north of the village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, the river Stjórn flows down from the hinterland, runs through the Stjórnarsandur, and a little further on eventually joins the large Skaftá river. The waterfall is easy to reach.
