Daily Nature Fix: A Black Waterfall on Black Friday. (Original Photos)

in nature •  8 years ago 

   Hello nature fans, I hope you had a good holiday.  If you're hanging around steemit today instead of fist fighting with people over televisions in Walmart, I have a throwback DNF for you.  This is a revisit to one of my first Daily Nature Fix posts about the amazing pipe organ looking waterfall named Svartifoss.  It's located in southern Iceland and is the most dramatic waterfall I have ever seen.  The black basalt columns that surround it are incredible.  When I originally posted it, I had 0 followers and it received 6 upvotes.  Now, I don't really care about the upvote count... I care about people seeing it, and I feel almost no one had back then.  Svartifoss deserves better.  I hope you enjoy! - Adam

   If there are waterfalls in hell, they'd probably look a lot like Svartifoss. The 70 foot tall black lava columns surrounding the cascade look like a massive, evil pipe organ.  It's found at the end of about a two mile hike in Skaftafell National Park, Iceland and I'm super glad we made the trek! The way the basalt cliff face wraps around you kind of made it feel like the water feature was looking down at the viewers.  It was a bit intimidating, to be honest..... wonderfully, wonderfully intimidating. It's a sight that won't easily be forgotten.

 ^^^ About a quarter mile out as we approach the falls.


There are so many amazing sights in the country, but if you're going to be traveling to Iceland any time soon, make sure you carve out some time to visit Svartifoss!
