Located on the southern region of Iceland is the famous Eyjafjallajokull (pronounced ay-uh-fyaat-laa-yow-koo-kl) glacier-covered volcano. The melting of the ice on top flows down into the Seljalands River and then falls down over a high 60 m (200 ft) cliff that forms this spectacular waterfall.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the few waterfalls in the world that it is possible to walk behind. There’s even a small cave inside! Even though most tourists visit in the summer time, the winter lights offer unique spectacular views as the icy water cascades down the cliff

Kerið is one of the youngest volcanic craters in Iceland, having formed maximum 6,500 years ago!

The color of the crater is very unique, as its base is composed of volcanic dark rock but its water has a distinctive aquamarine hue.

The crater formed by the collapse of a volcano, which usually happens when they run out of magma. It’s perfectly safe to visit it now, and most people go late at night to get a chance to see the Northern Lights by the lake water! Sounds magical, right?
