Gulfoss - Tuesday 31st August




Our second stop of our jam packed day was to Gulfoss (which means the golden falls) – the waterfall with the largest volume of water in Iceland. After overlooking the waterfall we walked closer and closer to reach the waterfall itself. The sound of the crashing of water into the depths below growing louder all the time! We were then surprised at the spectacular view we were about to witness and then the amazement sinks in! After having the opportunity to take a few memorable snap shots of this once in a life time experience, we were then told by Mr Pittam that in the winter this magnificent tourist attraction is capable of completely freezing over. We can certainly say that this is the most phenomenal, natural sight we have experienced so far!
