Gullfoss Waterfall- Iceland

Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, plunging into a dramatic canyon in two powerful stages. Visitors can experience its roaring beauty from viewing platforms and trails. Its golden hue in sunlight and wintertime ice formations offer spectacular sights year-round.

History

In the early 20th century, Gullfoss was nearly harnessed for hydroelectric power. Thanks to Sigríður Tómasdóttir's efforts, it was preserved, symbolizing Iceland's commitment to conserving natural wonders.
