It is surrounded by dark lava columns, which give rise to its name. The hexagonal columns were formed inside a lava flow which cooled extremely slowly, giving rise to crystallization. The waterfall is some 25 meters (80 feet) high, not the largest, but one of the prettiest on Iceland. It's a good uphill hike to get there, but worth it.<br /> <br /> Try it on black.</p> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:19:06 -0800 2010-08-31T15:56:51-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (NRG Photos) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/6839982261 Svartifoss - The Black Falls <p>Svartifoss (English: Black Fall) is a waterfall in Skaftafell National Park in Iceland.
