The breathtaking and unusual waterfalls of the Fjarðará river in Seyðisfjörður.
Seyðisfjörður is a small village in the Eastfjords of Iceland at the end of the fjord of the same name. The village is a scenic 27 km drive from Egilsstaðir. The long, calm, deep fjord of Seyðisfjörður twists and turns 17 kilometres from its mouth to the head of the fjord, where the town of the same name shelters beneath Mt. Strandartindur and Mt. Bjólfur. In the valley above the town, the river Fjarðará cascades from the edge of the heath above in innumerable beautiful waterfalls, down to L—n (the lagoon) at the head of the fjord. Once a hazardous place to travel, the heath is now crossed in a mere half-hour by a high-quality road, commanding splendid views of the surrounding area. The route (Stafirnir) down into Seyðisfjörður by the Fjarðará river is one of Iceland's most spectacular roads.
