Svartifoss is one of the most unique waterfalls in South Iceland. Situated in Skaftafell National Park, which part of the massive Vatnajökull National Park. Svartifoss's name literally means "The Black Waterfall". The narrow and extremely elegant cascade drops 20 m (65 ft) from a crescent-shaped cliff, composed of magnificent hexagonal black basalt columns, into a calm aquamarine pool.
Sunset at Diamond Beach in East Iceland provides some interesting photographic opportunities. Captured here is one of the many pieces of glacier ice that has washed ashore. The setting sunlight sets the ice aglow like a stunning diamond, which provides a stark contrast against the black sand beach; thus, giving the name Diamond Beach.
Gluggafoss Waterfall (also called Merkjárfoss or Window Falls) is often overlooked by travellers. What makes Gluggafoss unique is its geology where the river has created several holes and tunnels in the soft palagonite bedrock, called "gluggars", through which the water finds its way. This beautiful waterfall plunges 44 meters into a plunge pool and then broadens up in the lower falls and plunges another 8.5 meters into the river Merkjá.
