Iceland Waterfalls

And three months later our Iceland trip is finally being wrapped up in photos. Goodness, I'm constantly reminded how surreal this place is. You can't go to Iceland and not see waterfalls, so I've dedicated this last post to all things waterfalls. A little tip, "foss" in Icelandic means "falls" in English, which might help break down the names. Here we go! We started our waterfalls exploration by taking a little day trip out to Barnafoss with our gracious hosts. Then Paul and I rented a car for a few days and hit some of the major highlights around the southern rim of the island including Seljalandsfoss, Skógarfoss and Svartifoss. The beauty of Seljalandsfoss is the trip BEHIND the waterfall. Pretty wild. And cold. And loud. Svartifoss is insane. Look at these rock formations! It has the feel of cathedral organ pipes you know what I mean? Ok, these little rock pile ups below are a sweet story. Visitors are supposed to add a rock to the top. Moody! I've been enamored with pictures from other people's trips to Iceland including Jenna's super detailed write-ups. Mackenzie of Secret Pocket has beautiful photos of their trip to Iceland/Denmark for the holidays last year. Elaina from Fint og Deilig and her husbandMark spent their honeymoon camping in Iceland last summer. Brave souls! I've been following the Instagram of Andrew and Carissa as they explore Iceland right now. This shot at the Blue Lagoon is gorgeous! BTW, we did go to the Blue Lagoon, Iceland's biggest tourist destination, but we didn't take a single photo! Crime! Needless to say, the place is otherworldly (and expensive! especially when we went here for free!)
