Waterfall
Gljúfrabúi
Next to Seljalandsfoss in South Iceland, this mysterious waterfall hides behind a narrow cleft in the rock. Its name means “dweller in the gorge”, and you reach it through the narrow rock passage. Pouring into a cave-like canyon, it gives visitors a spellbinding, adventurous atmosphere.
