Historia y Antecedentes
The basalt columns surrounding Svartifoss were the inspiration for architect Guðjón Samúelsson's design of Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík and the Skaftafell visitor centre. The falls drop 20 meters into a pool below, surrounded by lush birch woodland. The hike to Svartifoss from the Skaftafell visitor centre takes about 45 minutes and offers views across the glacier outwash plain.
Svartifoss is a waterfall in east-iceland, offering visitors a beautiful display of Iceland's dramatic natural scenery. The waterfall is surrounded by typical Icelandic landscape and makes for a rewarding stop.
