"Dynjandi Waterfall Although Gullfoss gets most of the tourists, Dynjandi waterfall is arguably one of the most breathtaking (and one of the biggest) in Iceland .Situated in the remote Westfjords (it’s sometimes described as the region’s jewel), ittumblessome 328 feetandcreates a thunderous sound ( dynjandi means "thunderous" or "resounding"). Impressively, themultiple cascadesstart at around 98 feet wide and spread to 646 feetat the bottom, creating a shape that’s often said to resemble a bridal veil. There are a few more additional waterfalls below Dynjandi that help make the short (15-minute) hike up to the main falls even more picturesque. You can stand right behind if you don’t mind a splash of water."
