    Diamond Beach

    The Diamond Beach, also known as Breiðamerkursandur, is a beach located on the south coast of Iceland, near Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. The beach is famous for its black sand and icebergs that wash up on the shore, resembling sparkling diamonds. The icebergs on the Diamond Beach come from the nearby Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where chunks of ice break off from the glacier and float out to sea. The icebergs eventually wash up on the shore, where they are sculpted by the waves and tides.

    Skógafoss

    Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. You can walk right up to it but be prepared to be drenched. It is overwhelming standing next to it. Located on the Skógá river, this mighty cascade is clearly visible from Route 1 and is an excellent place to stop and stretch the legs while traveling Iceland’s South Coast. The river below Skógafoss holds a large char and salmon population and is thus a favorite spot for fishermen in the summer. Due to the amount of spray the cascade produces, at least one rainbow is present any time the sun emerges from behind the clouds. Skógafoss can also be viewed from the top as a steep staircase leads to an observational platform above the cascade. Many nesting seabirds can be found on the route up.

    Seljalandsfoss

    Seljalandsfoss waterfall, part of the river Seljalandsá, has its origins underneath the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano beneath this ice cap was the one that erupted in 2010 and caused havoc at airports across Europe. The cascade of the falls is relatively narrow but falls from a tall cliff that once marked the country's coastline, the sea is now located across a stretch of lowlands and is visible from the site.

    20 minutes Admission ticket included
