Waterfalls in Iceland

A perfect 60-metre curtain on the South Coast, 25 metres wide, so consistently misty that rainbows hang across its base on any sunny afternoon.

The waterfall you can walk behind - a 60-metre ribbon off an old sea cliff with a footpath curling into the cavern behind the curtain.

The most powerful waterfall in Europe by volume - a thunderous grey-brown wall of glacial meltwater crashing into the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.

The "Waterfall of the Gods" - a sweeping 30-metre-wide horseshoe in North Iceland, named for the day a lawspeaker threw his pagan idols into the falls.

The "Golden Falls" - a two-tier cascade on the Hvítá river where glacial meltwater drops into a rugged canyon. The showpiece of Iceland's Golden Circle, and about as easy as a world-class waterfall gets.
