Goðafoss waterfall is in northern Iceland near Akureyri. Local legend claims the waterfall got it’s name (waterfall of the gods) around 999 AD when the country made Christianity the official religion, afterwards which statues or Norse gods were thrown into the waterfall.

Easily accessible from Route 1 on the southern coast of Ireland, Seljalandsfoss drops 197 ft (60m) from the plateau above, fed by the Seljalands River having its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The ability to walk behind the waterfall is very cool feature, I plan to share photos of this feature in a future post.
Thanks to the 5-axis in camera stabilization of my Nikon z8, I was able to capture some water creaminess at a 20/sec exposure. No time for deploying a tripod at this brief stop on our bus tour. For the best viewing experience, click to see a high resolution version.

In the distant background you can faintly see the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier head where icebergs break off into the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, near Diamond Beach, Iceland.

Stjornarfoss waterfall in southeast Iceland is nearly 49 feet (15 meters) in height. Though not among the tallest waterfalls in Iceland, the stunning surrounding landscape makes for a dramatic composition.
This site was one of several stops on a 12-hour bus tour along Route 1 of the southeast glacial coast in Ireland, leaving east from the capital of Reykjavík. An average stop was only 45 minutes, taking 10 min off the top for a bio break, you’re left with about 30 minutes to enjoy the site and take pictures. For me, that meant no time to cover most landscape composition opportunities and setup a tripod with ND for long exposures.
The other challenge is keeping the other visitors out of your shot. Sometimes you have to use that new facing AI removal tool!

The Hayjadalur Geothermal Area is the home of numerous hot springs, fumaroles, mud pots and a few geysers. This image is the Blesi hot spring near the famous Strokkur geyser. The attraction is about an hour east of Reykjavík along the “Golden Circle” in southern Iceland.
