Rjúkandi, also known as Rjúkandafoss, is the twelfth tallest waterfall in Iceland. Rjúkandi contains multiple drops, but collectively it reaches 305 ft (93 m). Its impressive height makes it hard to miss, but it’s also one of the few significant waterfalls that can be seen directly off the northern portion of the Ring Road (Route 1). However, Rjúkandi doesn’t receive many visitors.

The unnamed waterfall, nicknamed Krýsuvíkurfoss, is one of two waterfalls in Reykjanes. Krýsuvíkurfoss is located east of the Krýsuvíkurberg sea cliffs.

Hidden away in the Eastern Region is Strútsfoss, Iceland’s third tallest waterfall. Strútsfoss is also known for its distinct red and gray layers on the cliffs.

A family-friendly waterfall without the crowds. Helgufoss stands at 39 ft, with a gentle flow. This beautiful waterfall is only a short drive away from Reykjavík.

Just downstream from Goðafoss, you can find Aldeyjarfoss. Aldeyjarfoss is a small waterfall with a single drop for 66 ft. What it lakes in height, it makes up for in beauty. Similar to Svartifoss, Aldeyjarfoss is surrounded by an amphitheater of basalt columns.
