Iceland's largest waterfall, Skogafoss.

Skogafoss waterfall is 30 kilometers from Seljalandsfoss, and it only takes about 25 minutes to drive from Seljalandsfoss. People often visit Skogafoss waterfall after visiting Seljalandsfoss, which is not far away. Both waterfalls fall from cliffs at the same height, and compared to the more famous Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss waterfall is actually larger. The waterfall is about a 2-hour drive from Reykjavik and about a 30-minute drive from the town of Vik. Moreover, the location is extremely convenient, and the waterfall can be clearly seen from Route 1. As a must-visit attraction in Iceland, Skogafoss waterfall is one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, with a height of over 60 meters. It has appeared in various films and TV shows, such as "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," "Thor: The Dark World," and "Game of Thrones." The amount of water in the waterfall is very large, which means it can produce rainbow mist and there is a chance to take beautiful photos. The ground below the waterfall is flat, allowing visitors to walk into the bottom of the water curtain and appreciate the waterfall up close. The water curtain stirs up layers of water splashes, and the chance of seeing a rainbow here is very high. Many people in China call it the Rainbow Waterfall. The ground below the waterfall is very flat, and tourists can walk directly to the water wall. Although this will make you completely soaked, almost no one can resist the temptation of Skogafoss waterfall. A steep staircase leads to the observation platform above the waterfall, where many nesting seabirds can be seen along the way. The river below Skogafoss waterfall has a large number of salmon, making it a favorite place for fishermen in summer. On the east side of Skogafoss waterfall, there is one of Iceland's most famous hiking trails: the Fimmvorduhals Pass, a 22-kilometer trail between two glaciers (M rdalsj kull Glacier and Eyjafjallaj kull Glacier), along the Skoga River, and finally reaching the beautiful valley of Thorsmork.
