Waterfalls of Iceland’s Northwest and Northeast Region and How To Visit Them

Iceland's Northwest and Northeast Region Waterfalls

Iceland Northwest and Northeast Region Waterfalls Map
Click for the interactive map

The page is devoted to the Iceland Waterfalls found throughout the North Region. This region is further divided up into the Northwest Region (Norðurland vestra) and Northeast Region (Norðurland eystra), but we include all the waterfalls in both regions on this page.

This is some of Iceland’s most remote and undeveloped regions in the country, and some of the rawest and most naturesque experiences can be had here. So browse through these pages or check out the waterfall map above to get a sense of some of the waterfalls you can experience up here as well as logistics to help with your trip planning needs.
