Dettifoss is a short walk from the car park, across Sandadalur, a small valley containing an old river bed that bears witness to the power of the Jökulsá á Fjöllum and the jökulhlaups that thunder down it from time to time.
The river water is almost always dark with sediment, in contrast with the white rapids and spray, and during floods the river and the falls are often virtually fl with sediment and debris.
Soon after leaving Dettifoss, we took the road heading to the west and ran into some of the worst driving we encountered during our trip (see the roads section for more details).
