The Klifbrekkufossar waterfalls are situated in the bottom of the fjord, Mjóifjörður in the East of Iceland not far from Egilsstaðir. The waterfalls are in the river Fjarðará and cascade down in 7 tiers in a stair-step pattern amidst green grassy slopes sheltered by murky cliff walls. A great place for photographing!
