💦 Öxarárfoss – the waterfall for people who don't like real waterfalls.

Not too high, not too wide, but hey – at least there's water falling. And because it's located in the middle of a national park, you have to expect selfie sticks, Instagram posers, and buses full of tourists. Perfect if you want to feel like you're in an airport terminal while enjoying nature.

Positive: It's a great way to practice looking disappointed while taking photos.

Negative: You'll still have Dettifoss and Gulfoss in your head afterward – and wonder if this isn't just a leak in the rock face.
