Gufufoss
Gufufoss is a waterfall in Westfjords & Remote, Iceland — about 658 km from Reykjavik and reached by a drive to the trailhead and a short walk in (footwear and weather check). Shoot it during the summer window, when light, road status, and crowd levels line up for photography, then use the GPS coordinates, parking notes, and nearby waypoints below to fold this stop into a longer photography route.
Overview
Gufufoss looked to us like the largest and most striking waterfall in the Seyðisfjörður area. The falls plunged with a rectangular shape and power that made it difficult to even get close to its misty base.
