Part of a series of posts about my travel in Iceland, including visits to eleven waterfalls.
After a morning visit to Seljalandsfoss, I hopped in the car and plugged in the address for Gljúfrabúi waterfall, which I knew to be nearby. Little did I know, it is in walking distance! Back to the same carpark I went, and re-donned my now-familiar waterfall kit: parka, rainpants, sandals, and waterproof hat. I followed the trail along the cliff face, passing several other unnamed waterfalls that, in New Hampshire, would be worthy of a name and a carpark all their own… but here are just a sideshow to the massive Seljalandsfoss and the mysterious Gljúfrabúi (officially known as Gljúfurárfoss). The trail to Gljúfrabúi then dives into a narrow cleft in the cliff – one could almost overlook it. Read on!
