Daily Life In Iceland

Arial view of the Gulfoss. The Gullfoss waterfall is seen in the canyon of the Hvita river in central southwest Iceland on December 14, 2018. The geology features a river turning sharply to the right down into a wide curved three-step staircase, plunging into two stages, along with the accumulation of ice. There was 20th century speculation of using Gullfoss to generate electricity, but failed and is now owned and protected by the state of Iceland. Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland, along the Golden Circle on Route 1. (Photo by Patrick Gorski/NurPhoto)
