Dynjandi (also known as Fjallfoss and meaning “thunderous”) is located at the end of Arnarfjörður and it is the most powerful waterfall in the Westfjords and breathtaking in its beauty.

Dynjandi is actually a series of 7 waterfalls with a cumulative height of 330 feet. The main uppermost tier is particularly notable with its trapezoidal shape (100 feet wide at the top and 200 feet wide at the bottom).

The other waterfalls below Dynjandifoss are Hæstahjallafoss, Strompgljúfrafoss, Göngumannafoss, Hrísvaðsfoss, Hundafoss and Bæjarfoss. It is said that a supernatural being lives in every waterfall.

The waterfalls have their source in Lake Eyjavatn from which the Dynjandisá river flows.
