Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice, but it could also be considered the Land of Waterfalls. There are over 10,000+ waterfalls in the country, and many are world-famous. There are many waterfalls in Iceland that information is hard to find, if at all. Our mission is to document Iceland’s waterfalls for the digital age, and we want our resources to be useful for both Icelanders and Travelers.
Djúpavíkurfoss is a hidden gem nestled in the rugged landscape of the Westfjords region of Iceland. This breathtaking waterfall tumbles down over a cliff, ending approximately 160 meters below before it flows into the Atlantic Sea. From the seaside at Djúpavík, you can get a stunning view of the waterfall with the small town of Djúpavík in the foreground. The river Djúpavíkurá, which feeds the falls, originates from a plateau with several small lakes and mountains reaching up to 524 meters. Djúpavíkurfoss is located directly on road 643 in the village of Djúpavík, near the Reykjarfjörður fjord. If you’re looking for a unique and off-the-beaten-path destination, Djúpavíkurfoss is definitely worth a visit.
