Surname
Icelandic "dynjandi" means "the droning, raging" in German.
Most important dates
It is 100 m high and spread out wide. In summer, 2 to 8 m³ / s plunge into the depths here, and about half of it in winter. The waterfall has a width of 30 m at the top and 60 m at the bottom. The waterfall and its surroundings have been under nature protection since 1981 .
More waterfalls
Immediately below the large Fjallfoss there are five smaller waterfalls: Hundafoss (Dynjandisá), Göngufoss (behind which there is a passage), Háifoss (Dynjandisá), Úðafoss, Bæjarfoss (Dynjandisá).
Shortly thereafter, the Dynjandisá river flows into Borgarfjörður (Arnarfjörður) . There is a campsite at the mouth.
geology
The subsurface consists of alternating layers of lava and sediment , with the oldest lavas being around 13-14 million years old.
Movie location
In the film " Children of Nature - A Journey " by Friðrik Þór Friðriksson , the two main characters Stella and Geiri celebrate at this location.
Transport and tourism
Dynjandi is very isolated on Dynjandavegur 
, not far from Vestfjarðavegur 
and is about 73 km from Patreksfjörður . In order to avoid long bus journeys to and from Ísafjörður, some cruise ships anchor in the bay and tend their passengers ashore.
This area of Iceland is still not very well developed for tourism.
