Witness the twilight of the gods
In the year 999 the Lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland. After his conversion it is said that upon returning from the Alþingi, Þorgeir threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall. Hence its name Goðafoss ('waterfall of the gods').
