About Goðafoss Waterfall
Goðafoss (Waterfall of the Gods) is one of Iceland's most spectacular and historically significant waterfalls. The wide, 12-meter high horseshoe-shaped fall on the Skjálfandafljót river is easily accessible and can be viewed from both sides. According to legend, when Iceland officially adopted Christianity in the year 1000 AD, the lawspeaker threw his pagan Norse god statues into this waterfall, giving it its name.
