Waterfall Locations in Iceland
43 curated GPS coordinates
This Iceland waterfalls map gives photographers 43 curated GPS waypoints for Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Dettifoss, Godafoss, Gullfoss, Glymur, Dynjandi, and smaller cascades that are easy to miss while driving. Download KML, GPX, and GeoJSON files, then compare access, seasonality, vehicle needs, and distance from Reykjavik before choosing sunrise, sunset, or bad-weather backup locations.
Use the map as a route planner, not just a checklist: group South Coast waterfalls near Vik and Hella, add Golden Circle stops like Gullfoss and Glymur, or build longer North Iceland and Westfjords days around Dettifoss, Godafoss, Aldeyjarfoss, Hengifoss, and Dynjandi.
Unlike a generic list of famous falls, the GPS layer is built around field decisions: where to park, which stops pair naturally in one day, which viewpoints need a hike, and which cascades work as bad-weather backups when spray, wind, or crowds compromise the headline locations.
