Iceland - not just "Icy country", but the country and waterfalls. This was once again convinced photographer Arnar Kristjánsson from Reykjavik. Several magical shots.
The reason for the presence of a huge number of waterfalls in Iceland is a special structure on the island of continental crustal layers and a variety of landscapes.
The second reason are the glaciers of Iceland, which in summer is actively melting, filling with water the numerous islands of the river. The rivers become turbulent, the water level rises, and soon formed the magnificent waterfalls, different in size, capacity and shape.
