A golden waterfall, the most famous in Iceland, pouring hundreds of tons of muddy water a few meters high
Gullfoss, the "Golden Waterfall", is Iceland's most famous waterfall. It pours hundreds of tons of muddy water 32 m high over the Hvítá, a river that rises from the Langjökull ice cap, a white mass that can be seen in the distance from Gullfoss. You'll also find a stele in honour of Sigridur Tomasdottir, daughter of the landowner who, at the turn of the century, threatened to throw herself into the waterfall if the hydroelectric plant project was not abandoned. She succeeded, and the site is still preserved today!
