Gufufoss, Waterfall in Seyðisfjörður area, Iceland.
The Gufufoss waterfall flows down multiple stone steps, creating white streams of water against dark volcanic rocks along the Fjarðará River.
Centuries of volcanic activity and glacial movements shaped the cliffs surrounding Gufufoss, forming the current cascade system visible today.
The name Gufufoss originates from the Icelandic words 'gufa', meaning steam, referencing the constant mist rising from the falling waters.
Visitors can reach Gufufoss through a marked path from the parking area on the road between Seyðisfjörður and Egilsstadir.
The waterfall belongs to a system of 25 cascades along the Fjarðará River, making it part of an extensive natural water network.
