Most Sensational Waterfalls Around the World #6

Gullfoss Falls

In south Iceland on the upper part of the Hvita river is Gullfoss Falls, which translates to "Golden Waterfall." It is fed by Iceland's second-largest glacier, the Langjokull. The water from Gullfoss Falls comes down in two cascades — one 36 feet high and the other 69 feet high. Below the falls is a crevice that was created during the Ice Age by flood waves. Because of erosion caused by the water, it grows nearly 10 inches a year.

On sunny days, visitors are often given the gift of a glorious rainbow to observe. However, the view of Gullfoss Falls during the winter is also quite extraordinary, as the waterfall freezes and creates waves of shimmery ice.
