Continue to Skógafoss waterfall to watch the Skógá River fall 60 meters at the powerful cascades. Discover the secret waterfalls of Kvernufoss and Írafoss, and continue to the black sand beach at Reynisfjara under Mt. Reynisfjall. Drive on to Seljaland to spend the night at a country guesthouse close to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Search the sky for the Northern Lights if conditions are favorable.
