Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
Gullfoss is a waterfall located on the White River (Hvítá) in south central Iceland. Its name means the Golden Falls. The flow of the river from the regular rains and the glacial runoff, particularly in summer, makes Gullfoss the largest volume falls in Europe.
The Gullfoss is one of the most spectacular sights on earth. It is one of the natural wonders of the world. The wide White River (Hvítá) rushes southward. About a kilometer above the falls it turns sharply to the left and flows down a wide curved three step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 m (60 ft) wide, and 2.5 km in length, is at right angles to the flow of the river. The average of water running down this waterfall is by 100 – 180 m³/s in the summertime and 50 – 110 m³/s in the wintertime. The highest flood measured was 2000 m³/s.

Gullfoss o la Cascada Dorada se encuentra en el amplio cauce del río Hvítá, que fluye hacia el sur y a un kilómetro de la cascada gira bruscamente hacia el este cayendo en tres escalones curvados.
En ese momento se cae en dos saltos (de 11 y de 21 metros) en una grieta de 32 metros de profundidad, que mide unos 20 metros de ancho y 2,5 kilómetros de largo.
El caudal medio en esta catarata es de 140 metros cúbicos por segundo en verano y 80 en invierno.
Gullfoss means golden waterfall. If it were not raining, we might see a rainbow in the mist coming back up.

As close as we got to Gullfoss ("Golden Waterfall"), an iconic waterfall in Iceland on a river fed by Iceland's second largest glacier. The water plummets more than a hundred feet in two stages into a rugged canyon with walls up to 230 feet high.

Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland and part of the Golden Circle. Many people consider the waterfall one of the most beautiful in Iceland. The water cascades down in two stages, one 11 m (36 ft) high, and the other 21 m (69 ft), into the 2,5 km (1.6 mi) long crevasse below. Catastrophic flood waves created this crevasse at the end of the Ice Age. Constant water erosion lengthens it by 25 cm (9.8 in) a year.
