Nobody comes here to see the Fosstunsfoss. Everyone comes to see its more fabulous neighbor Seljalandsfoss.

Foss is the Icelandic word for Falls...something seen all over Iceland. Here, south of Reykjavik, along the Ring Road, there are a few famous ones such as the nearby Seljalandsfoss which one can walk behind and was featured on an episode of the Amazing Race.
But slightly to the north are several other waterfalls and the one to the immediate north is this one, Fosstunsfoss...which apparently does not rank enough to have it's own Wikipedia page or any other mention online. BUT.... an orientation table at the site for Seljalandsfoss lists the names of the area's geologic features including these Falls.
A photo of Seljandsfoss has been included to give contrast between the two Falls.
