Goðafoss: Iceland’s Waterfall of the Gods In North Iceland, along the Skjálfandafljót River, lies Goðafoss—a semicircular cascade where waters plunge 12 meters over a 30-meter width. Beyond its natural beauty, Goðafoss holds historical significance; it’s said that around the year 1000, lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði cast pagan idols into the falls after Iceland embraced Christianity, symbolizing a pivotal cultural shift.   Easily accessible from the Ring Road, Goðafoss offers well-maintained paths and viewing platforms on both sides, inviting visitors to experience its majesty up close.  #Goðafoss #godafoss #icelandtrip #traveliceland
