At 11 at night, in the cold and wind, I dragged my daughters out to this waterfall to take photos. Looks can be deceiving, that small section of the falls to the right of us actually drops down about 39 feet to the pool below. Goðafoss Waterfall in Northern Iceland.
This is a panorama of Svínafellsjökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Europe. It covers 8% of Iceland’s landmass. The glacier continues to slope up, curving back behind the mountains. The far upper left you can see Skaftafellsjökull in the distance. The black portions of the glacier are from volcanic ash. I love the contrast with the white, the green and the ash and even the waterfall on the right.
