Started early at 6:00am with a clear sky, no wind and mild temp and was expecting to meet many people but I completed the loop alone. Great run, magnificent views and also small creeks with clear icelandic water.

Svartifoss waterfall is yet again one of the more impressive waterfalls in Iceland, but this time it's not the size that impresses the spectator but rather the sight of the basalt rock formations. Visiting this waterfall...
