Waterfalls

It is said that Iceland has 10,000 waterfalls.  


Because I am a slightly weird, I decided to keep count of how many we saw.

258 was my final count with 15 of those 'named'. 

There is Godafoss
And Dettifoss - the most powerful waterfall in Europe

Skogáfoss
And the very beautiful Gullfoss.....you just learned an Icelandic word huh?  Foss = Waterfall
Some tumble over black basalt...
Occasionally they are very tall and narrow
Some are wide
One had a fish ladder at the side...
This one was made famous by Justin Bieber.  It's Seljalandsfoss.  In his video, Justin posed exactly where we were standing . 
You can walk behind Seljalandsfoss, if you don't mind getting wet!
There are even waterfalls in caves....
Best of all, there are lots of rainbows!
Can you see the rainbow in this one?

Finally the most photographed spot in all of Iceland is Kirkjufell Mountain and Waterfall. 
Even with all these beauties, it seems that we've only seen 5 of the 'most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland'.  I think I need to go back!
