Háifoss (II)

In 2021 I had already been to Háifoss and Granni, its nearby waterfall. At that time, however, we looked down on the waterfall from the upper reaches or into its lower reaches and the spray from the waterfall.

This time I wanted to take my time and hike to the valley floor of the river Fossá í Þjórsárdal to perceive the height of the waterfall in a different way than if you only look from above. But I have to admit, I’m always attracted to waterfalls by the contrasting, dramatic motifs. As in 2021 from the upper reaches, now looking down on the valley floor. Or photographed from the valley floor itself in the following image:

 

To evaluate the full height of the waterfall, which at 122 m is the third highest in Iceland, I also photographed it from above at its full height. Here the different volcanic rock layers come into their best view.
