Gljśfurįrfoss

Seljalandsfoss


Gljśfurįrfoss (or Gljufurarfoss without Icelandic characters) is noteable because it seemingly disappears behind a very narrow slot canyon. Translated to mean "canyon river waterfall", the misty and cold alcove behind the narrow slot has led some people to refer to this falls as the "spooky" waterfall. The only way to get a non-blocked view is to wade in the icy cold water through the narrow slot to the misty alcove behind it. This waterfall is one of a handful of taller ones near the more famous
Seljalandsfoss.

Although I made an attempt at getting a shot of the falls from within the misty alcove behind that narrow slot concealing the bottom part of the falls, the water was too cold and I didn't make it all the way in!
