Hafragilsfoss
📍 North Iceland
📖 Description
Hafragilsfoss drops 27 metres into the Jökulsárgjúfur canyon just downstream from Dettifoss. While Dettifoss gets all the attention, Hafragilsfoss is broader and lower, spreading across the full canyon width in a curtain of glacial water. The canyon walls here are among the most dramatic in the Jökulsá á Fjöllum system, with sheer basalt faces rising hundreds of metres on both sides.
