The view you get after a 2.5km hike to the falls. As a treat on the way you get fantastic views and 2 other waterfalls on the way up.
The smaller of the two waterfalls of Hengifoss. Flanked by basalt columns formed during the intense heat & pressures of a lava flow. #waterlust
It is Iceland, but it should be called land of waterfalls. There are so many waterfalls here they are innumerable. I, a lover of waterfalls, have had my fill and I could not be happier!
