Skógafoss waterfall is a waterfall situated in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline.
After the coastline had receded seaward (it is now at a distance of about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) from the waterfall, the former sea cliffs remained, parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the coastal lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland.
The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft)
It is a magnificent waterfall and not less so during the winter when the cliffs next to it are frozen and the ground covered in snow.
