Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. The wide Hvítá rushes southward, and about a kilometre above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 metres or 36 feet, and 21 metres or 69 feet) into a crevice 32 metres (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 metres (66 ft) wide and 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 140 cubic metres (4,900 cu ft) per second in the summer and 80 cubic metres (2,800 cu ft) per second in the winter. The highest flood measured was 2,000 cubic metres (71,000 cu ft) per second.
Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the county.
A magnificent waterfall on the Golden Circle. It almost became a hydroelectric dam, but a local woman stopped it from happening. There are many stories about why it is called the Golden Falls.
Gullfoss "la chute d'or"
Haute de 32 mètres, la chute de Gullfoss est alimentée par les eaux du glacier Langjokull, qui ont creusé ici un canyon de basalte et de palagonite. La chute est composée de deux larges cascades qui plongent en zigzag dans les gorges. Dans un bruit assourdissant, elles produisent un nuage de vapeur scintillant. C'est pourquoi même les jours de beau temps, les promeneurs s'aventurant un peu trop près des berges en reviennent inévitablement trempés !

Looking back through some photos from my 2009 trip to Iceland I discovered that I'd never processed this view of Europe's biggest falls.

This is another photograph from my Icelandic set, featuring the powerful and majestic Gullfoss waterfall. This was as close as I could get without ruining my camera. The spray was intense. Testament to the power of nature.
