Dettifoss is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Europe located in northeast Iceland. It is one of the most powerful, with an average water flow of 193 m³/s, and a drop of 44 metres (144 ft) down to the canyon Jökulsárgljúfur. Visitors can stand witness to its impressive power and get up close with the falls on both the west and east sides of the river. On the banks are minimal facilities such as viewing platforms, a path for hiking, and toilets. Along with its majestic force, Dettifoss is a fun must-see destination in Iceland.

You can visit both the east and the west sides, but it requires a drive to do so. It is recommended to only visit one side since the drive between them is more than an hour.
