Gullfoss Falls, Iceland
The Gullfoss Falls are located roughly 70 miles (110 km) east of Reykjavik (pronounced Ray-ka-vik) and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. There are several 'stair-steps' before the main drop which is 105 feet (32 meters) into a crevice, making the waterfall (from this side) appear to vanish into the Earth. During the first half of the 20th century and a little beyond the falls were almost used for hydroelectric power which would have permanently changed them. Fortunately it didn't happen and they're now protected.
