Waterfalls and Geysers: Explore Natural Iceland
On a recent vacation to Iceland, Jinelle prepared a list of the natural wonders that we had to experience. The waterfalls and geysers of Iceland will have you in awe of how beautiful nature can be.
Gullfoss Waterfalls
Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. The Gullfoss waterfall is part of the Golden Circle tour, which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, the Langjökull. The water plummets down 32 meters in two stages into a rugged canyon which walls reach up to 70 meters in height. It’s the most popular waterfall in Iceland.

Djúpalónssandur –Black Sand Beach
World-famous black-sand beach found on the South Coast of Iceland, created by years of lava rock. Popular in several shows and movie such as Game of Thrones and True Grit, the waves can sneak you out to see. On your visit, be sure to test your strength on the lifting stone.
Djúpalónssandur also know as “Pearls of the Deep”

Kerið Crater
Kerið is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, along the Golden Circle. It is thought that Kerid was once a cone volcano that erupted, depleted all its magma, and then collapsed under the magma’s weight. I also collapsed and ended up in the mud, lol.
