  • Fog roars in wind and even appears to make a splash like real waterfall

A waterfall made entirely of fog cascaded from a cliff in Iceland – and the mesmerising sight was captured on camera.

The ghostly clip shows the fog running off the side of the precipice in Djupadal and falling gently into the Breidafjordur fjord below.

The weather phenomenon was filmed by Icelander Kjartan Gunnsteinsson, who took photographs and a video of it on his phone, reported GrindTV.

The budding photographer had been out with friends on a hike when he came across the large fog waterfall south of Latrabjarg.

He took the film during the summer solstice, a time when Iceland saw almost 24 hours of sunlight.

In the video, the waterfall can be heard roaring in the wind – as if actual water is being transported along the cliff.

There even appears to be a splash created at the bottom as the fog runs into the water of the large shallow bay below.

The fog is thought to have been caused by a temperature inversion, when rising hot air acts as a seal and keeps the cold air trapped beneath it.
