Góðafoss
Góðafoss, known as the "Waterfall of the Gods," is a stunning waterfall located in northern Iceland. It is situated on the Skjálfandafljót river and is approximately 12 meters high and 30 meters wide. The waterfall is famous for its beautiful horseshoe shape and the clear blue water that cascades over the rocks, making it a popular destination for tourists and photographers.
The name "Góðafoss" is derived from a historical event in the year 1000 when Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, a chieftain, threw his pagan idols into the waterfall after converting to Christianity. This act symbolized the transition from paganism to Christianity in Iceland, adding cultural significance to the natural beauty of the site.
