Gullfoss waterfall

The waterfall originates in the Langjökull glacier, and gets its name from the stunning gold hue it gives off as it tumbles down into the canyon. The waterfall drops down into a crevice of 32 meters (105 ft) in two steps, with each being around 11 or 21 meters high. On many occasions, rainbows can be spotted in the falls thanks to the refracted light.
