The thundering jewel of the Westfjords.
Dynjandi is the largest and most spectacular waterfall in the Westfjords, a wide veil of water cascading down a mountainside in a series of broad steps.
A short uphill path passes several smaller falls before reaching the roaring main drop, with sweeping fjord views throughout.
The Westfjords lie in the far northwest, reached by a long and scenic self drive, a short flight to Isafjordur, or the Baldur ferry across Breidafjordur.
