Aldeyjarfoss | the hexagonal miracle

Hexagonal basalt columns make Aldeyarfoss one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, features found in few places around the world. These unique columns are so perfectly symmetrical formed that they seem to be carved by human hand.

Of course, there is a scientist’s explanation for this phenomenon. When lava was flowing down the cliff faces at Aldeyarfoss during an eruption centuries ago, the outer lava, which was exposed to the air, cooled into solid rock fasting than the layers beneath. That extraordinary phenomenon makes the waterfall unique all around the world.

Aldeyarfoss stands at twenty metres tall, and plummets into a beautiful blue lagoon. On your way to Aldeyarfoss you will find free horses running free. All the surround geology is marvellous.
