Tucked away in a narrow gorge near the popular Skógar area, Kvernufoss is one of Iceland’s hidden gems. Much like its famous neighbor Seljalandsfoss, it offers the rare and magical experience of walking behind the waterfall, with misty views and a thunderous curtain of water above.
Despite being just a short walk from the main road, Kvernufoss remains blissfully uncrowded thanks to its discreet setting. Its peaceful surroundings and dramatic beauty make it a perfect stop for those looking to enjoy the South Coast’s natural wonders away from the tourist rush.

Solheimajokull Glacier
Sólheimajökull is a striking outlet glacier that extends from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in South Iceland. Its rugged surface of crevasses, ice ridges, and ash-streaked formations offers a dramatic and ever-changing landscape shaped by volcanic and glacial forces.
Easily accessible and popular for guided glacier hikes, Sólheimajökull provides a rare opportunity to experience the raw power of Iceland’s ice up close. Whether you're trekking across its frozen surface or simply admiring it from the base, the glacier offers an unforgettable glimpse into the island’s wild and icy heart.

Gluggafoss/Merkjarfoss
Gluggafoss, also known as Merkjárfoss, is a captivating waterfall located in the Fljótshlíð region of South Iceland. Its name, which means “window waterfall,” comes from the unique rock formations that create natural windows through which the water flows.
The waterfall is split into multiple tiers, with the upper section cascading through the cliff’s volcanic tuff and the lower plunging freely into a serene pool below. Easily accessible and often overlooked, Gluggafoss offers both geological intrigue and tranquil beauty, making it a rewarding stop off the beaten path.
