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.
Klifbrekkufossar is a series of several cascading falls in the Mjóifjörður fjord. Klifbrekkufossar is one of Iceland’s tallest major waterfalls at 300 ft (91 m) but doesn’t often receive that recognition due to the segmented drops. The name means Klifbrekkufossar, “Climbing Slope Falls,” as the waterfall is shaped like a set of stairs climbing up the cliffside. Fossar is the plural word for waterfalls, but Klifbrekkufossar is considered a single waterfall.
