Gullfoss (otherwise known as the Golden Waterfall) is a beautiful double-folding fall that many believe to be the most scenic in Iceland. It thunders 32 metres over a fault into a gorge, with water coming from the glacial river Hvitá, which has its source underneath the glacier Langjökull.
This beautiful waterfall was actually created when part of the glacier Langjökull broke free and tore a gigantic rift through the valley, creating a river that travels 133 kilometres to the Atlantic Ocean.
