Gullfoss Waterfall
Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland and part of the Golden Circle. Many people consider the waterfall one of the most beautiful in Iceland. The water cascades down in two stages, one 11 m (36 ft) high, and the other 21 m (69 ft), into the 2,5 km (1.6 mi) long crevasse below. Catastrophic flood waves created this crevasse at the end of the Ice Age. Constant water erosion lengthens it by 25 cm (9.8 in) a year.
