Brúarfoss
('Bridge Falls') is a relatively small waterfall compared to many of its
Icelandic counterparts, but its diminutive size does nothing to take away from
its staggering beauty. Both locals and seasoned travellers regard Brúarfoss as
one of the country’s hidden gems, often labelling it 'Iceland’s Bluest
Waterfall.'
The
glacial river Brúará falls 2-3m, ending in a U-turn at the base of the
waterfall, where the river is concentrated into a deep crevice that runs
through the centre of dark volcanic rock formations. This creates sky-blue
rapids that almost defy the imagination—and the vistas are made all the more
beautiful by the surrounding, lush green flora, which provides a stark contrast
to the flowing water. --- Guide to Iceland
