Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Migandifoss was a bit of a roadside ocean-plunging waterfall surprise when we made the scenic drive between Akureyri and Siglufjörður.

In fact, when we noticed this waterfall and made a concerted effort to stop for it, we didn’t even know it had a name until I looked at Gaia GPS at the next opportunity that we had internet.

To people driving south towards Akureyri, it seemed as if people would drive by without even knowing that they had passed this waterfall.

Fortunately, we were driving to the north from Akureyri where noticing this waterfall compelled us to look for a way to stop for it and do it in a way that was sanctioned (or at least not being a traffic hazard).

Given how this waterfall lacked signage or any lookout infrastructure (at least as of our August 2021 visit), something tells me that even the authorities might have overlooked this place.

We ultimately wound up pausing in a couple of informal pullouts in order to get a more enjoyable look though in the closer of the two lookouts, we did encounter another couple that was picking wild berries (and not so much checking out Migandifoss).

I’ll get into where these informal pullouts are in the driving directions below.
