Selvallafoss is a scenic roadside waterfall framed by mossy cliffs and basalt rock—great for intimate long-exposure shots and textured wide landscapes. Easy access from Vatnaleið with a short uneven trail from a small parking area; no entry fee. Best light is at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side-lighting; winter brings ice formations and low sun but can be slippery. Weekdays and shoulder seasons are quieter. Wear waterproof boots and windproof layers; expect spray and changeable West
