Svartifoss by hauxon The 20m high Svartifoss a great place to pay a visit if you’re travelling the south-east part of Iceland. It’s located inside the Skaftafell national park and the 2.5 km hike is up a gentle slope shouldn’t be too hard for most people, just make shure you’ve got spikes/crampons if you’re there during winter. The columnar lava rock formations make the waterfall and surroundings very scenic and they have been inspiration to Icelandic architects when designing buildings including Reykjavik’s Hallgrímskirkja church and the Icelandic national theater. Last weekend there was not much water in it but the giant icicles made up for it! 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/BFo2rm
