Gullfoss -- Strokkur
Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall in Hvita river Gullfoss is Iceland's most famous waterfall, and one of the natural wonders of the world. It is in the mighty glacial river Hvita (White river), just a few kilometres from another natural wonder, the world-famous Geysir. The enormous white glacial cascade drops 105 feet into a narrow canyon which is 225 feet deep and 1.5 miles long.
