ICELAND

FALLS

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.

Urriðafoss

Urriðafoss is Iceland’s largest waterfall in volume, with a high river drop rate of 12,700 cfs (360 cms). The waterfall is located on the Þjórsá, the longest river in Iceland. In Icelandic, Urriðafoss translates to “Trout Waterfall.” The Þjórsá is a famous river for salmon and trout fishing. Even seals are reported to travel up the river to Urriðafoss to catch salmon.
