A coastal cliffside waterfall beneath a snow capped mountain in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula
This was captured on a winter morning while exploring the beautiful Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. What appears to be a waterfall is actually the ocean crashing into a cliff. I am standing on a natural bridge opposite this basalt cliff/cavern, and the water flows beneath the bridge, crashing into the rocks and creating the appearance of a waterfall.
