Svöðufoss
 Svöðufoss (or Svodufoss without Icelandic characters) is an interesting waterfall in that the Snæfellsjökull Glacier looms right above it. You can find this waterfall as you drive between Ólafsvík and Hellissandur as it's visible from the road 574. However, the hard part is getting closer to the falls without trespassing or beating up your rental car. There is a signposted turnoff a little over 6km west of Ólafsvík then another 3.2km along the rough unpaved road to the distant lookout you see on this page. It's interesting to note that the Snæfellsjökull Glacier was the subject of Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" where the journey began. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
