Dynjandi is the Icelandic waterfall formed by seven tiers with a total height of about 99 metres.
Dynjandi lies in the Westfjords, where the Dynjandisá river descends over a broad, fan-shaped series of rock steps. The uppermost section, also called Dynjandi, is roughly 30 metres wide at the top and expands to about 60 metres at its base, creating its distinctive trapezoidal appearance.
The name Dynjandi is often translated as “thundering” or “resounding.” Below the main fall are six smaller cascades, each with its own Icelandic name. Together they make the full sequence one of the most recognizable landscapes in the Westfjords.
The surrounding cliffs are composed largely of layered basalt formed by ancient volcanic activity. Unlike Iceland’s major glacial-river waterfalls, Dynjandi is primarily a mountain stream waterfall, so its flow varies with rainfall, snowmelt, and seasonal conditions.
