Natural Stone Bridge
The above pictures show a before and after of Ófærufoss.
The top picture I took when I was in Iceland in 1981 when the stone bridge was still intact.
The next picture is a picture that I took off of the internet when I was doing a little research on this beautiful sight.
I was saddened to see that the bridge was no longer there, but feel very lucky to have seen it.

Ófærufoss in Eldgjá
When I traveled to Iceland in 1981, we drove to Eldgjá and hiked quite a
ways to see this wonderful waterfall, which was called Ófærufoss. It’s a 40 kilometers long volcanic crack in the landscape. It’s not very deep and it’s not very wide but it’s quite long. A river, Nyrðri Ófæra
(nyrðri meaning northern, ófæra means something like uncrossable), runs through it for a few kilometers. It falls down to it in a waterfall, Ófærufoss, which had a natural bridge over it when I was there, broke down in 1993, so I am very lucky to be one of a few tourists that saw it in it’s natural beauty. It’s really a double waterfall, meaning that there are two, one after the other. Then the river runs in the crack for a while, slow and beautiful and the lava, red and purple, on both sides. We hiked up to the waterfall and walked over the bridge.
It’s beauty I will never forget!
