It is a small but beautiful waterfall that cascades down the front of a cliff \u2013 and that makes it possible to walk behind the waterfall to view the scenic countryside of Iceland through the water.<\/p>\n<p>The waterfall droacps 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origins in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Sk\u00f3gafoss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Sk\u00f3gafoss waterfall is situated on the Sk\u00f3g\u00e1 River in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. It is one of Iceland\u2019s most beautiful waterfalls, with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters.<\/p>\n<p>The water from Sk\u00f3gafoss plummets over the edge of the cliff and falls into a deep pool at its base, creating a huge plume of spray. On a sunny day it is common to the waterfall bathed in a vivid rainbow.<\/p>\n<p>In Iceland there are many myths and legends, and one of these involves Sk\u00f3gafoss. It is believed that many years ago, a settler named \u00derasi buried his treasure chest full of gold under the waterfall. Maybe you will be the lucky one to find \u00derasi\u2019s treasure chest on this tour!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull Glacier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull glacier is the southwestern glacier tongue or outlet glacier of the M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull ice-cap. It is about 8km long and 2km wide and is the 4th largest glacier in Iceland.<\/p>\n<p>It is a magnificent glacier that has many cracks and crevasses, and ash layers caused by the regular volcano eruptions in the area. There is a small and beautiful lagoon in front of the glacier.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, like most Icelandic glaciers, S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull is rapidly receding. The glacier has retreated about a kilometer over the last decade and it is possible that it may disappear totally within the next few decades.<\/p>\n<p>The river J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 runs from S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull filled with glacial meltwater, which is rich with smelly sulphuric acid from the subglacial areas. For this reason, the river is sometimes called the \u201cstinky river\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Reynisfjara<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reynisfjara is a magnificent black pebble beach which features an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns resembling a rocky step pyramid, which is called Gardar.<\/p>\n<p>Just offshore are the stunning basalt sea stacks called Reynisdrangar. According to folklore, two trolls attempted to drag a ship to land but were turned to stone as daylight broke, turning them into the Reynisdrangar stacks.<\/p>\n<p>Just to the west of Reynisfjara, the large rock arch of the Dyrh\u00f3laey peninsula is visible.<\/p>\n<p>The area has a rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots.<\/p>\n<p>The waves at Reynisfjara are especially strong and unpredictable, and fatal accidents have occurred at this beach, so people are advised to take extra care when visiting the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>V\u00edk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The village of V\u00edk is the southernmost village in Iceland, around 180km southeast of Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having only around 300 inhabitants, Vik is the largest settlement for more than 50kms in each direction and is therefore an important service center for the inhabitants of, and visitors to, the coastal strip between Sk\u00f3gar and the west edge of the M\u00fdrdalssandur glacial outwash plain.<\/p>\n<p>The most iconic landmark in Vik (or at least the most photographed!) is the red-roofed wooden Reyniskirkja church which was built in 1929. Because of its beautiful location, the church is very popular for weddings. Also, because of its high position just out of town and Vik\u2019s close proximity to Katla volcano, the church is the evacuation spot in case of a volcano eruption and the subsequent flood of glacial meltwater.<\/p>\n<p>The South Coast Tour duration is about 9 to 10 hours, including stops at the 5 main sites and even one or two extra stops depending on time available.<\/p>\n<p>With Iceland Everywhere Tours, you are led by an experienced guide who gives you information about each destination.

It is a small but beautiful waterfall that cascades down the front of a cliff \u2013 and that makes it possible to walk behind the waterfall to view the scenic countryside of Iceland through the water.<\/p> <p>The waterfall droacps 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origins in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sk\u00f3gafoss<\/strong><\/p> <p>The Sk\u00f3gafoss waterfall is situated on the Sk\u00f3g\u00e1 River in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. It is one of Iceland\u2019s most beautiful waterfalls, with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters.<\/p> <p>The water from Sk\u00f3gafoss plummets over the edge of the cliff and falls into a deep pool at its base, creating a huge plume of spray. On a sunny day it is common to the waterfall bathed in a vivid rainbow.<\/p> <p>In Iceland there are many myths and legends, and one of these involves Sk\u00f3gafoss. It is believed that many years ago, a settler named \u00derasi buried his treasure chest full of gold under the waterfall. Maybe you will be the lucky one to find \u00derasi\u2019s treasure chest on this tour!<\/p>\n<p><strong>S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull Glacier<\/strong><\/p> <p>The S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull glacier is the southwestern glacier tongue or outlet glacier of the M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull ice-cap. It is about 8km long and 2km wide and is the 4th largest glacier in Iceland.<\/p> <p>It is a magnificent glacier that has many cracks and crevasses, and ash layers caused by the regular volcano eruptions in the area. There is a small and beautiful lagoon in front of the glacier.<\/p> <p>Sadly, like most Icelandic glaciers, S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull is rapidly receding. The glacier has retreated about a kilometer over the last decade and it is possible that it may disappear totally within the next few decades.<\/p> <p>The river J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 runs from S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull filled with glacial meltwater, which is rich with smelly sulphuric acid from the subglacial areas. For this reason, the river is sometimes called the \u201cstinky river\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reynisfjara<\/strong><\/p> <p>Reynisfjara is a magnificent black pebble beach which features an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns resembling a rocky step pyramid, which is called Gardar.<\/p> <p>Just offshore are the stunning basalt sea stacks called Reynisdrangar. According to folklore, two trolls attempted to drag a ship to land but were turned to stone as daylight broke, turning them into the Reynisdrangar stacks.<\/p> <p>Just to the west of Reynisfjara, the large rock arch of the Dyrh\u00f3laey peninsula is visible.<\/p> <p>The area has a rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots.<\/p> <p>The waves at Reynisfjara are especially strong and unpredictable, and fatal accidents have occurred at this beach, so people are advised to take extra care when visiting the area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>V\u00edk<\/strong><\/p> <p>The village of V\u00edk is the southernmost village in Iceland, around 180km southeast of Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p> <p>Despite having only around 300 inhabitants, Vik is the largest settlement for more than 50kms in each direction and is therefore an important service center for the inhabitants of, and visitors to, the coastal strip between Sk\u00f3gar and the west edge of the M\u00fdrdalssandur glacial outwash plain.<\/p> <p>The most iconic landmark in Vik (or at least the most photographed!) is the red-roofed wooden Reyniskirkja church which was built in 1929.
