Iceland Waterfalls (Foss in Icelandic)
Gooafoss (Waterfall of the Gods)
When the King of Norway dictated that all his subject become Christian the local chief threw their pagan images into the falls. He still gave his people the option of converting or not.
Denttifoss
Dentifoss was a bit of a hike in the wind as well as a diversion off of Hwy 1. Some of the people there had obviously come from  the south or southwest because they all said the wind was better than the rain from the remnants of Hurricane Matthew. It was about .8km (1/2 mile) from the parking lot. On the drive back to the ring road. huge dust clouds were obscuring some of the horizon.
Selfoss
Selfoss (Upriver  from Dentifoss) We diverted on our hike on the return from Denttifoss to get a good view of Selfoss. We didn't get real up close and personal.
Skogafoss
527 steps bring you to the top of Skogafoss.
Gullfoss
Gullfoss on the Golden Circle is the most visited waterfall in Iceland. It's relative closeness to Reykjavik provides plenty of tourist.
In Iceland everywhere you look there is a waterfall making it down to the coastal plains from escarpments fed from the inland highland wilderness.
