One of the best and most convenient ways to get a taste of the geography of Iceland, Skaftafell has rugged mountains, glaciers, waterfalls all together in walking distance.
From a distance, Svartifoss seemed like a small waterfall, but once I got closer and was standing on the icy rocks at the bottom of the valley, I was struck by the beauty of this waterfall. The oddly shaped rocks from which the gently spray of icy water was falling, the pleasant sound of Svartifoss, not disturbed by any other sound, the solitude of the area, the bluish white ice forming under the waterfall... It was not easy to move on and away from this friendly fall. Once higher up, I was happy I did, however, since an incredibly rugged and attractive landscape unfolded before my eyes. The low shrubbery around me brown and red, ahead, and higher, I could see snow-capped mountains. A little further on, I reached Sjónarnípa, at the edge of the small plateau on which I had been walking.
