Dettifoss Waterfall Iceland: East Side, West Side, Roads 862 and 864

Dettifoss is one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls, located in Jökulsárgljúfur canyon in Vatnajökull National Park. Fed by the glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum, it drops into a dramatic canyon shaped by floods, erosion, and volcanic forces. Visitors can reach it from Road 862 on the west side or Road 864 on the east side, with Selfoss and Hafragilsfoss nearby.
