7. Visit Svartifoss in Vatnajökull National Park
Barely 5 minutes ride on a vehicle or half-hour walk from the visitor’s center at Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park will bring you face to face with this extraordinary creation of nature called Svartifoss or Black Fall. The real beauty of this breathtaking 12-meter-high waterfall is not the plunge but the dark and sharp underhanging hexagonal basalt columns that create an extraordinary backdrop for the waterfall. If the exotic amphitheater look wasn’t enough to attract millions of tourists to this spectacular site, the shape of the basalt background appears like a huge heart. A must-visit in Iceland.
