Indeed, there are  literally hundreds of these natural beauties all over the country. From  the powerful Dettifoss to the majestic Svartifoss, they are the  country’s most recognizable attraction. Being located between  the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, Iceland’s climate is influenced  by both. The warm North Atlantic climate produces frequent rain and  snow, while the near-Arctic location produces large glaciers, whose  summer melts feed many rivers. These streams of the water fall over  numerous ridges in this volcanic island creating innumerable waterfalls.  While all of them are majestic, there are some that are favorites among  tourists. Gullfoss   Gullfoss, or the Golden Falls is Iceland’s most  popular tourist attraction. The waterfall is located in the canyon of  Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. About a kilometre above the falls, the  Hvita river turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide  curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages  into a crevice 32 meters deep.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dzr4HH9SM-8/VoErv0rqqUI/AAAAAAABJ4o/rn-OERukJGs/gullfoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xxS2MVlrDow/VoErxe_9RKI/AAAAAAABJ4w/uJY3Xhv7tSU/gullfoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Dettifoss   The  Dettifoss, located in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland,  is said to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe. It is also the  largest waterfall in Europe in terms of volume discharge, having an  average water flow of 193 cubic meter per second. The waterfall is so  powerful that it makes the surrounding rocks vibrate, the vibrations can  be felt by hand. The waterfall is 100 meters wide and have a drop of 45  meters down to the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nWeDByP6ZFY/VoEryRKS_EI/AAAAAAABJ44/_3s1Y8Z2v1Y/dettifoss-26.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-euKQMFZZSPU/VoErzoQ-02I/AAAAAAABJ5A/J-CUbTVwU_4/dettifoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Skógafoss   The  Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland with a width of  25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Due to the amount of spray the  waterfall consistently produces, rainbows are often seen whenever the  sun is out. The waterfall is situated on the Skógá River in the south of  Iceland.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KoR_wF2x3UU/VoEr0gSoPRI/AAAAAAABJ5I/GA1MD-XRbuw/skogafoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Lfkx0Wx0SzE/VoEr1lL7ArI/AAAAAAABJ5Q/yvfSMM1vFtg/skogafoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Goðafoss   The  Goðafoss or “waterfall of the gods” is located in the Bárðardalur  district of North-Central Iceland. The waterfalls is short and flat,  falling from a height of only 12 meters but having a width of 30 meters.  Being very close to the Ring Road, it’s very popular among tourists.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BC_GiSKhqhY/VoEr2xWJCdI/AAAAAAABJ5Y/vbwlo2wwiUs/godafoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pelMrWJSx_0/VoEr37bFF0I/AAAAAAABJ5g/haawH6FUA6g/godafoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Seljalandsfoss   Seljalandsfoss  is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland, located between  two other falls —Selfoss and Skógafoss. This waterfall of the river  Seljalandsá drops 60 meters over the cliffs of the former coastline. It  is also possible to walk behind the waterfall making for some fantastic  photo opportunities.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-16LMPUeaey4/VoEr5DvSBVI/AAAAAAABJ5o/FYk9YG2JVfI/seljalandsfoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bygix-CyFZU/VoEr6W9iC-I/AAAAAAABJ5w/rVAcIr0AbBg/seljalandsfoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Hraunfossar   Hraunfossar  or “lava falls” is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming  over a distance of about 900 meters out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava  field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under  the glacier Langjökull. The waterfalls pour into the Hvítá river from  ledges of the rock in the lava.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u_cOaO_dok0/VoEr7yOWqVI/AAAAAAABJ54/VxULqXQSOn8/hraunfossar-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4jBpvSxZkAw/VoEr89LoV3I/AAAAAAABJ6A/DDwQg_3R_PE/hraunfossar-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Dynjandi   Dynjandi,  also known as Fjallfoss or "Mountain Falls" is a series of waterfalls  with a cumulative height of 100 meters. The uppermost falls is usually  the most photographed one because of its unusual trapezoidal shape. This  section of the fall is about 30 meters wide at the top and 60 meters  wide at the bottom.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a_LegNukzrE/VoEr-J0HxZI/AAAAAAABJ6I/x4xNVNMlPPA/dynjandi-15.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eBYPuM8S_nc/VoEr_mx7V2I/AAAAAAABJ6Q/oHbfns_y_O0/dynjandi-25.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Hengifoss   Hengifoss  in Hengifossá in Fljótsdalshreppur, East Iceland, looks very beautiful  because of the surrounding cliff whose basaltic layers are separated by  thin layers of red clay giving the mountains a stripped appearance.  Hengifoss is also the third highest waterfall in Iceland at 128 meters.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vUFmc7EStZ8/VoEsA5CAusI/AAAAAAABJ6Y/KkW3wuIb9vw/hengifoss-15.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Brúarfoss   Brúarfoss  or “bridge waterfall” is Iceland’s best kept secret. Many people,  including Icelanders themselves, have never heard of this place. It is  not visible from the road and there are no signs directing you to it.  There is not even a Wikipedia article about this falls.   Brúarfoss  derives its name from a natural stone arch that was over the river near  the waterfall in earlier times. Legend has it that in the 16th century,  the butler in Skálholt ordered the arch to be broken to prevent beggars  and vagabonds from entering the Skálholt land. Justice was served when  the butler drowned in Brúará River shortly after. This fascinating waterfall is composed of hundreds of tiny streams and waterfalls running into a deep, icy blue gap.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Xi0IUbW79LA/VoEsCKRJsuI/AAAAAAABJ6g/AV7lswj4GKo/bruarfoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-chU94nP1uDA/VoEsDbXIXEI/AAAAAAABJ6o/xxgomW9wavU/bruarfoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Svartifoss   Svartifoss   or ”Black Fall” in Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland,  is surrounded by spectacular hanging hexagonal basalt columns. These  basalt columns are such a distinctive feature of the falls that it is  said to have provided inspiration for Icelandic architects, most visibly  in the Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík, and also the National  Theatre.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xvsb6svB6UE/VoEsEkSzvzI/AAAAAAABJ6w/-0IvYQvE_1M/svartifoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P5m_W9Yd9qw/VoEsF5tm_hI/AAAAAAABJ64/Pu9abmWWtyo/svartifoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Aldeyjarfoss   The  Aldeyjarfoss waterfall is situated in the north of Iceland at the  northern part of the Sprengisandur Highland Road. One of the most  interesting features of the waterfall is the contrast between the black  basalt columns, similar to the ones in Svartifoss but not nearly as  pronounced, and the powdery white waters of the fall that attest to its  glacial origins.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-68YSCQYj7ds/VoEsHLGB2wI/AAAAAAABJ7A/Ai_Hiz-svSA/aldeyjarfoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nPF11q3XDoo/VoEsIVUSwzI/AAAAAAABJ7I/bbUbskyuGPg/aldeyjarfoss-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Hjálparfoss   Hjálparfoss  or “helping falls” is a unique double waterfall that joins at its base  into a very large plunge pool surrounded by some rugged lava formations.  Hjálparfoss is located about 30 kilometers east of the village Flúðir  in the lava fields north of the stratovolcano Hekla.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nQQCcpMxsEw/VoEsJlaIxdI/AAAAAAABJ7Q/9216yybPkn0/hjalparfoss-26.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ErKTXMl3tsk/VoEsK_ScC6I/AAAAAAABJ7Y/ec5JbYzT9EI/hjalparfoss-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
