dettifoss waterfall

这个地方没有下雪很好到达，我到的时候是冬天，是carpooling才到的，路面有积雪冬天的瀑布水量没有春夏多，但是还是可以感觉的出来很壮观，尤其一片白色世界很美，很令人屏息但是一定要注意安全！

Dettifoss黛提瀑布：欧洲水量最大的瀑布。沿864号路从南往北抵达。这个瀑布就是前面提到的，今年的大片《普罗米修斯》开头几分钟的情节，那个外星人摔下去的瀑布。（我们一行人瀑布看多了，失去了兴趣，未去，后来看了片子，感到很遗憾，错过了这个大片外景地）网络图片

This thing makes you feel like a grain of sand. It's HUGE and POWERFUL. I've never seen anything like it. It has definitely stuck out in my mind over the years

Outstanding scenery and nice little cafe and shop nearby.You can walk around and see the falls and safely get up really close to the the point where the water goes over the edge.

The road to Dettifoss is a gravel, potholed track about an hour up the road from the main circle highway. It was bone rattling but once we arrived, we were so glad we had made the effort. The falls are situated in the middle of nowhere it seems and there is none of the usual touristy stuff around the attraction. Be prepared with food and water as you are truly on your own. Also, wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is not easy to traverse. For those with mobility issues, you may have to stay at the top of the falls and not venture too far down the path. As true to most of the attractions we visited, Dettifoss is very unspoiled and humanity has barely made an impression on this very beautiful waterfall. Visitors can get up close and personal, even hanging over the edge, which I saw many photographers doing much to my distress (I don't like heights) but you truly feel at one with nature. The sound is deafening. The day we visited we were on the east side of the viewing area and were dry. We noted that those who were visiting on the west side of the waterfall were getting soaked! On the way back, the road was actually closed down as the Bundaburger Volcano was threatening to erupt, so be to sure to take note of any local warnings of seismic activity in the area.

We went early in the morning arriving around 10.15am and it was deserted which made everything even more magical.

Cold, wet, but breathtaking and definitely worth a visit. I would recommend driving down one of the two F-Roads if you have a suitable vehicle and hitting up a hike along the way, possibly Raudholar.

Driving from Egilstaddir to Akureyri, we had wanted to try and access Dettifoss. Well we actually amazingly did!! The road was clear and we only had a 2x2 wheeld drive! We walked 1.5km from the car park via snow and some stubbon ice, but was worth it! Beautiful! We then walked to it's sister waterfall Selfoss just another 1km walk!

the drive wasnt great, but the waterfall was well worth it. Iceland has lots of gorgous waterfalls, but this was one of our favorites. Small walk to get an excellent view.

In a deep gorge along an icy road, this place is a must see. The spray was amazing and turned to ice crystals in the freezing air. Wrap up warm and prepare to be impressed............don't walk on the consciences which over hand the gorge edge of you may not return! Otherwise safe and well worth a visit.

We rented a car and drove from Egilsstaðir to Mývatn in April 2014. We really wanted to stop at Dettifoss, but were very disappointed to find that the road (to the eastern side) was closed due to ice. Luckily the second road (to the western side) was open. We were completely alone on our hike to the waterfall and at the waterfall itself and there were beautiful ice crystals on the ground around the plant leaves - really magical. Dettifoss is a massive and powerful sheet of water, beautiful and very impressive. Highly recommended!

We had a private tour of the falls with Raggi. Fact is the conversations with Raggi are what I will remember longer than seeing a fantastic waterfall. We booked through Saga but eco also works.

This large waterfall is very impressive. The water has a lot of silt in it. You can get quite close to the waterfall.

(May trip 2014) We do the road and after we do the walk. In May you need to have the right clothes... rubber boots won't be appriopriate to do the walk in the snow ( we saw some people try). But it's really worth the walk. You really need to see this waterfall and if you have the time you can continue your visit until Selfoss at proximity. On the rock, with a wonderful view on the canyon, we ate one of this delicious sandwich that we can buy in all gaz station.

Very few people because the path was not well shown because of the snow. 800 m of walking from the parking in the fresh deep snow it was a bit tiring but the fall is beautiful also because there were only 3 tourists!
