Gullfoss Waterfall

Called as "golden falls", Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.

 

It is curious to know that this waterfall was preserved by Sigríður Tómasdóttir, whose activism helped to preserve Gullfoss waterfalls from industrialization. She is widely seen as Iceland's first environmentalist and is memorialized on a sculpture near Gullfoss.

 

Sigríður-Pfad is the name of the path which leads to the whole Gulfoss' sightseeing.
