Seljalandsfoss

Darkness flows along the tortuous path between two worlds. Paced by natural rhythm, a resilient return stirs the stagnancy of colors faded. Suspended droplets collapse to the deafening roar of fear, slipping into submersion and bestowing awe upon the weary. A witness to radiant white light descending from the crumbled cliff, perpetually spiraling into the abyss.

Tracing the Source

Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall along the Seljalandsá river which originates beneath the glacial volcano of Eyjafjallajökull. This volcano is famous for recently erupting in 2010, halting air travel in much of Europe.

Frequent Flooding

The low-lying area beneath Seljalandsfoss is prone to frequent flooding. In 2010, the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull caused glacial ice to melt and flood into the valley below, destroying a stretch of the highway. A large sandur scars the area, a sign of previous floods.

Ancient Coastline

The Seljalandsá river falls roughly 200 feet over cliffs which mark where the coastline once was.
