Háifoss, Iceland

Iceland is full of countless waterfalls, but this one is quite impressive. Háifoss, which is well named for its meaning "high waterfall", would be the second or third highest in the country. Lost in the middle of the desert and volcanic south of Iceland, it rushes 122 meters below at the bottom of a vertiginous canyon dug in the rock, in a great uproar.

 

L'Islande regorge de cascades innombrables, mais celle-ci est assez impressionnante. Háifoss, qui porte bien son nom signifiant "cascade haute", serait la seconde ou troisième plus haute du pays. Perdue au milieu du sud désertique et volcanique de l'Islande, elle s'élance 122 mètres plus bas au fond d'un canyon vertigineux creusé dans la roche, dans un tumulte mémorable.
