Skógafoss Study IV {Explored January 15, 2014}

The Skógafoss, Iceland is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60m.

 

According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again.

 

Looks best on black.
