Svartifoss Rainbow  
   

Svartifoss Rainbow

Svartifoss within an hours easy enough walk of the tourist centre in Skaftafell national park is a wonderful waterfall. The rock formations are hex shaped columns of basalt rock and give a fascinating and different appearance on this waterfall. You can dip your feet or even have a splash in stream and pools below the fall and we had a drink of the water which was cold and lovely. By exploring about closer to the base of the falls we captured the mist at the right angle to see a little rainbow formed just low above the pool. See the rainbow in the bottom right of this photo; we had a great time at Svartifoss; found it very picturesque and loved it.
