Image Aldeyjarfoss from sigurdurfbjarnason

The Aldeyjarfoss waterfall is situated in the north of Iceland at the northern part of the Sprengisandur Highland Road which means it is to be found within the Highlands of Iceland. One of the most interesting features of the waterfall is the contrast between the black basalt columns and the white waters of the fall. In this, it is similar to the much smaller Icelandic waterfall Svartifoss in Skaftafell. The river Skjálfandafljót drops here from a height of 20 m. The basalt belongs to a lava field called Frambruni or Suðurárhraun, hraun being the Icelandic designation for lava. Sitting at this edge made me feel... very very small and weak against the nature... the following video shows the immense power of the waterfall and the river, on 40 sec of the video the ledge that a sat on is clearly visible. the second video clearly shows the power.. :) http://ift.tt/1sU85qo http://ift.tt/1AxyMly
