Iceland: What Goes Down Must Come Up.

I nearly called this blog "Iceland: Where Water Falls" but realised that as well as the amazing waterfalls in Iceland, I also wanted to include geysers from this remarkable country.

Skógafoss

Skógafoss is what you thought waterfalls should look like when you were taught about them at school. It is the most perfect example of a simple single drop waterfall I have ever seen, enhanced by the beautiful green surroundings.

Seljalandsfoss

Although not as initially visually stunning as Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss is equally as impressive once you get close up. In fact you can get even closer to the action by walking behind it.
   

Gullfoss

Gullfoss is Iceland's most popular and visited waterfall and it is easy to see why.

The picture below shows the different strata of rock, the overhanging one evidently more resistant to erosion and goes some way to explain the number of drops of the waterfall.  

Geysir
And as promised, what goes down must come up. As Iceland finds itself on top of two tectonic plate boundaries, there are many geysers and none more famous than 'Great Geysir' which can be found in Geysir Park. It's neighbour, 'Strokkur' (pictured) is less impressive but does spout every five minutes.

Awesome Iceland!
