With over 10,000 waterfalls, Iceland is a waterfall photographer's paradise. From the iconic curtain of Seljalandsfoss — which you can walk behind — to the thundering power of Skogafoss and countless hidden cascades only reachable on foot, there is always a new waterfall to discover. Use our waterfall GPS maps to find both the famous and the secret spots.
- Use a slow shutter speed (1/4s–2s) to create a silky water effect; bring a sturdy tripod.
- A neutral density (ND) filter lets you use longer exposures even in Iceland's bright summer light.
- Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Hraunfossar, and Dynjandi are must-visit waterfall photography locations.
- Wear waterproof gear — standing close to powerful waterfalls will soak your lens and clothing.
- Our waterfall KML/GPX map includes GPS coordinates for over 500 waterfalls, including many off the tourist trail.
