Skógafoss (pronounced ) is a waterfall situated on the Skógá River in the south of
Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coastline had receded seaward (it is now at a distance of about from
Skógar), the former sea cliffs remained, parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometres, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the coastal lowlands and the
Highlands of Iceland.
