Spectacular waterfall and some rainbow spray

Skógafoss is a spectacular waterfall located in the south of Iceland at the southern coast. It is one of the country's biggest waterfalls, featuring a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). The falls are especially known for their immense amount of spray, often creating a single or double rainbow on sunny days. Adventurers can explore the 527-step staircase that leads from the base of the falls to its summit, where they can experience a view of the surrounding landscape, though I personally find it not worth the effort.
