Svartifoss

Swati Waterfall is the most characteristic waterfall I have seen in Iceland. It takes some effort to see this waterfall. The itinerary is about 3.7km (roundtrip). The waterfall flows down from the top of the mountain. The background is black basalt. I tasted this water. It was a bit sweet. I don't know if it is a heart function, but I have no diarrhea after drinking, indicating that the water quality is very pure.

Svartifoss, commonly known as basalt waterfalls, because we did not figure out the route, we actually drove down the trail to the mountain, because the car had an old, weak and disabled, so we some trembling to drive the car to the place that can not be driven. General tourists need to park the car in the sign area under the mountain, and then hike up the mountain, because the hollow master's legs are not completely good, so we decided to stay him to see the car. Because the Raiders did not do enough, I did not expect the basalt waterfall to walk a long distance up the mountain, and then walk down the mountain, until the waterfall, fortunately the car drove directly to the mountain, so the road up the mountain was exempt. Follow the signs on the top of the mountain for a long time and have not seen it until after walking through a mountain, you can see the true face of Lushan from afar, overlooking the Black Falls. The trail is very narrow and you can walk to the basalt waterfall along the trail. Basalt waterfall is located in the remote Orafi area of Iceland. Her beauty is breathtaking, black sand under white glaciers, desolate waste and green vegetation. Unexpectedly, in the Gobi area of Skeioararsandur, there is such an oasis and a Skeioara river. These are the best pictures of nature's changeable nature.

Swati Falls is also located in the southern Skafta of Watna National Park, in Icelandic meaning "black waterfall", the reason why the waterfall is called black waterfall, not because the waterfall is black water, but because it is suspended in the sky of the black lava column wrapped. This hexagonal lava column is due to the extremely slow flow of lava and eventually cooling and crystallizing. After countless years of baptism, the lava column gradually fell below, and finally formed the existing face. To get to Swati Falls, you need to walk1.7 kilometers, and you can't reach it by car. After parking, you can follow the sign on foot. There will be forks on the way. There will be signs of difficulty and arrival time. The key is that there is no wind all the way, so grateful. And all the way to autumn, I feel that my eyes are not tired at all. With the weather of sunny rain, I walked for almost an hour to reach the waterfall. Surrounded by columnar basalt, dark in color, without weathering, the edges are straight and sharp, straight to the mountainside, but due to the erosion of the running water and the freezing-thaw cycle in Iceland, basalt presents a crystal-like structure, which looks like a pipe organ in a church. The 12-meter waterfall on the cliff flew straight down, to the rigid rock and the soft flowing water, the dark black and bright white, the extreme opposite elements harmoniously united together, forming a rare and unforgettable scene.
