Detailed itinerary
1
This cascade is an exceptionally beautiful and unusual natural pearl. The waterfall looks like it magically appears from within the lava, but it actually is a spring that surges through the ground and runs down into the Hvítá river. The waterfall streams out of Hallmundarhraun which is an ancient lava field created in an eruption from a volcano lying under Langjökull glacier.

You'll follow your guide through these intricate tunnels, witnessing first-hand the ever-changing environment of glaciers.
