Svartifoss "Black Falls" in Skaftafell National Park, south Iceland

Svartifoss was maybe the mark fascination of Skaftafell National Park in the East Region of the nation (however it felt more like the southeast locale to us if there was such an authority assignment). The motivation behind why we made this case was that it had affirmed hanging hexagonal basalt segments underneath a 20m tall waterfall. 

Despite the fact that this combo of basalt segments and a waterfall was not novel (as we had seen various illustrations of these around the globe, including Iceland itself), this waterfall appeared to get the lion's offer of the fame and distinction. We think this may be on account of the basalt sections had an evident geometrical shape, the falls was moderately simple to get to and respect from up close (while likewise providing for us a bit of a topography lesson), and the falls had a year-round stream in a scene that contained ice sheets, volcanoes, and substantial tracts of dark sand [sandur] (i.e. it was quintessential crude Icelandic view). 

The name of the falls deciphered into something like "Dark Falls" which may be attributable to the haziness of the underlying basalt segments. We've commonly discovered such peculiarities where there appeared to be confirmation of basaltic magma being quickly cooled by proof of ice (e.g. the Devil's Postpile shaping in the Eastern Sierras of California and additionally Kirkjugólf close Kirkjubæjarklaustur). 

Context oriented take a gander at Svartifoss as we were dropping to its base Basaltic magma (said to be exceptionally press rich) had a tendency to be hard so about whether, so the warm stretch of the fast temperature changes on the hard basalt brought about cracks at the weakest joints the magma, which happened to be vertical and at 120-degree plot subsequently bringing about the hexagonal segments. Truth be told, the sections of Svartifoss were such a different gimmick, to the point that it was said to move Icelandic construction modeling. We saw confirmation of this when we went by the Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík. 

Notwithstanding the advantageous journey to see this waterfall, we were astonished to find that there were three different waterfalls in the zone (Hundafoss, Magnúsarfoss, and Þjófafoss) and also the ice sheet Skaftafellsjökull (most likely purported "SKAP-tuh-fells-y
