Godafoss Waterfall In Iceland.

A person takes pictures near the Godafoss waterfall in Akureyri, Iceland, on January 10, 2025. Also known as the ''Waterfall of the Gods,'' it is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, located in the north of the country, near Akureyri. With a height of 12 meters and a width of 30 meters, its waters fall with force from the river Skjalfandafljot, forming a natural spectacle. Its name comes from a legend that tells how, after the adoption of Christianity in Iceland in the year 1000, the statues of the ancient Norse gods are thrown into its waters as a sign of abandonment of the old religion.
