Gullfoss - Iceland
Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
Gullfoss (which is about two hours' drive from Reykjavik) is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. The wide Hvítá rushes southward. About a kilometer above the falls it turns sharply to the left and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (first 11 m and then 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 m (60 ft) wide, and 2.5 km in length, is at right angles to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running over this waterfall is 140 m³/s in the summertime and 80 m³/s in the wintertime. The highest flood measured was 2000 m³/s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullfoss
~ Sorry for the rather "dry" description of this amazing waterfall. If you click on the wikipedia link you will see a few stunning photos of Gullfoss, from an other (and the most popular) point of view.
