Skógafoss

Skógafoss drops about 60 metres off the old sea cliff on the south coast. The spray throws a rainbow across the base on any afternoon with sun, and a staircase on the east side climbs to the top of the fall.

Skógafoss is about 60 metres high and 25 metres wide; the cliff it falls over was once the coastline.
