The path behind the waterfall is closed, but you can still walk along the cliff to reach the hidden Gljufrabui waterfall.<br\/>It&#8217;s one of the <a

It&#8217;s one of our best memories of Iceland in summer.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#e4f3f6;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_titre gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px; margin-bottom:0px;\"><span>VISIT THE <\/span> <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">South Coast<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_texte_0 gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns Element_box is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-south-coast-iceland-attractions\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3984\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attractions on the South Coast<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/south-coast-iceland-where-to-stay-best-hotels\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Where to sleep<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Itineraries: 1 day &#8211; 2 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">How to get there<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/waterfall-seljalandsfoss-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seljalandsfoss<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/waterfall-skogafoss-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Skogafoss<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Jokulsarlon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box-texte gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ancient_sea_cliffs\"><\/span>Ancient sea cliffs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/South-Coast-in-Winter\/Seljalandsfoss\/i-JvJQ7Vz\/1\/DkTDpFHJGjwdmJQ52cTHDPD2V9nHtZK8bTpHLqr62\/L\/waterfall_Seljalandsfoss_Iceland-3605-L.jpg\" alt=\"reflection of Seljalandsfoss\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful, your visit isn&#8217;t over yet!
