Numerous other Westfjords Waterfalls are scattered through this remote region besides the ones mentioned on this site such as Dynjandi and Djúpavíkurfoss. Many of them don't have names or exist in relative obscurity. Nonetheless these falls are certainly big enough to become popular if they were situated elsewhere (that wasn't so remote). We had a very hard time trying to stop for what we thought were the major ones, because if we had stopped for all of them, we wouldn't be able to leave the Westfjords! I think we ended up taking heaps of photos, which is a testament as to how many you can find here.
Besides waterfalls in the west and central parts of the Westfjords, I'm also including waterfalls from the beautiful Strandir Coast on the eastern part of the fjords as well.
Directions: This page covers the stretch of roads that we've driven through most of the coastal parts of the Westfjords. These include Routes 60, 61, and 643.
