"Hraunfossar means "lava falls" in Icelandic as you can see - it's a long wall of water cascading over moss covered lava, falling into bright turquoise water! The falls covers about 900 meters/2950 feet, so it's quite a sight. The falling water comes from the nearby glacier Langjökull and falls into the Hvítá river (just upstream from Gullfoss!
30 minutes to explore.

"Hraunfossar is a magical waterfall in Iceland that's unlike any other. Instead of a single cascade, water appears to flow magically from beneath the lava fields, creating a stunning display of countless mini waterfalls. The crystal-clear water contrasts beautifully with the dark lava, making it a photographer's dream."

"Hraunfossar and Barnafoss are a group of beautiful waterfalls located on the Hvítá river in West Iceland. Spend an hour or so here wandering the meandering paths and admiring the natural splendor of the falls.
