Waterfalls in Iceland

Iceland has a LOT of waterfalls, and they are all amazing. This magnificent waterfall is called Gullfoss - it looks like a three tiered staircase. You can hear the rumble of the falls and the plumes of water. In fact, if you are near the falls, you will get slightly wet. One interesting fact about this waterfall is that during the first half of the 20th century, the government wanted to use Gullfoss to generate hydroelectricity. This would destroy these falls entirely and replace it with a damn. A local Farmer's daughter fought hard to stop these plans and eventually won out - preserving the beauty of these falls to these day.
