Godafoss Waterfall

Iceland - North Iceland

The Goðafoss waterfall is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland.

The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.
In 1000, the Lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland. After his conversion, Þorgeir threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall.
