<\/a>Go\u00f0afoss waterfall is the jewel in North Iceland\u2019s crown. Known as the waterfall of the gods, Godafoss is easily one of the most attractive waterfalls in Iceland. Access to Go\u00f0afoss waterfall is normally easy as it is close to the main highway (route #1).\u00a0 Winter driving can be challenging in North Iceland because there are many mountain passes that can be closed very quickly in bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We used to visit Go\u00f0afoss waterfall on our\u00a0multi-day photo tours<\/a>, but it is also possible as a\u00a0day tour from Akureyri or Myvatn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfall in Europe, and just feeling the surrounding rocks in a constant state of vibration confirms this fact. In winter, the danger is amplified as you approach the edge. Getting to the remote Dettifoss is not easy and sometimes impossible. This photo of Dettifoss Waterfall in winter was taken after a\u00a045 minute ride in a SuperJeep<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skutafoss is hidden away in a secret valley. This scene is captured from inside a cave. It well known to locals but difficult to find if you are driving yourself because it is not sign posted or visible from the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We often photographed this waterfall during our\u00a0Winter workshops<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00d6xar\u00e1rfoss waterfall falls between the tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park.\u00a0 It only takes an hour to drive from Reykjavik, so the waterfall can be visited on a whim.\u00a0 In the deep mid-winter, \u00d6xar\u00e1rfoss can freeze. Sometimes only small parts of the waterfall are flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access to\u00a0\u00d6xar\u00e1rfoss waterfall<\/a>\u00a0is normally possible in the winter. The path is often slippery but is level and safe with light crampons. There is a good view from the wooden viewing platforms and basic seating if you want to sit and just feel nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This waterfall used to be included on our\u00a0Golden Circle tour<\/a>.\u00a0 Regular sightseeing tours don\u2019t normally include \u00d6xar\u00e1rfoss because of the hike from the car park and lack of facilities.\u00a0 If you are driving yourself, then find the smaller car park on the lower Plateau.\u00a0 Last time I was there, you had to pay for parking in any of the car parks.\u00a0 Don\u2019t try to avoid this because they will send a fine to your rental company.\u00a0 If you have a private car, however, I have been informed that you can ignore the fine in your bank account because they have no legal right to reclaim the fine.\u00a0 Probably because it is an illegal charge (just like tourist VAT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access can be difficult at Gullfoss in the winter. Often the path is too slippery, so an advisory notice tries to prevent photographers from getting too close. There are good views from the safe viewing platforms and hot drinks at the cafe to warm visitors up after their waterfall adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gullfoss waterfall is a main feature on Golden Circle tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seljalandsfoss is the waterfall that offers the rare sightseeing treat of going behind the falls. Access is sometimes closed if it is too slippery. Anti-slip foot wear is essential if you are brave enough to access the frozen path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This amazing waterfall is featured on most\u00a0South Coast photo tours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skogafoss waterfall<\/a>\u00a0is close to the South Ring Road between Seljalandsfoss and Vik. The waterfall is a sheer curtain of water that comes from the rivers on the Fimmv\u00f6r\u00f0uh\u00e1ls walking route, which goes between Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull and M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glaciers. From Skogafoss, it is possible to connect with some of these\u00a0glacier tours on M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This amazing waterfall is featured on most\u00a0South Shore tours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall can look impressive with fresh snow on Kirkjufell mountain and ice on the river.\u00a0 Around a two-hour drive from Reykjavik, Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall is a nice location to consider on a day tour.\u00a0 Be warned that in mid-winter (Dec-Jan), there is not enough daylight to explore the whole Snaefellsnes Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hraunfossar waterfall is in the west of Iceland.\u00a0 The waterfall runs from under a lava field, which makes it quite unique.\u00a0 The waterfall has easy access throughout the year.\u00a0 Daylight is as short as three hours in mid-winter.\u00a0 The snow on the lava makes the photos interesting, although it seems to reduce contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDettifoss Waterfall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
