Rjúkandi (Rjúkandafoss)
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.

Hraunfossar
Hraunfossar is a uniquely beautiful series of waterfalls located on the Hallmundarhraun lava field. This lava field was created when a volcano under the Langjokull glacier erupted shortly after the settlement of Iceland. Hraunfossar is formed as several small streams flow from the lava field into the Hvitá river. The name Hraunfossar appropriately means “Lava Falls,” it is also known as “Girdingar cascade.”
