Gullfoss waterfall

This beloved waterful is one of the most stunning and best-known sites to marvel at when in Iceland. Translated to ‘Golden Falls’, it is found in the Hvítá river canyon in south-west Iceland. The bright aqua water from the Hvítá river travels from the glacier Langjökull, before cascading 32 meters down Gullfoss’ two stages in a dramatic display of Mother Nature’s power.

The cold never bothered us anyway.
