Goðafoss is a stunningly beautiful waterfall located in northern Iceland. It is located along the country's main ring road, and crosses just 45 minutes from the major city of Akureyri. The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 12 metres over a width of 30 metres. Goðafoss's name is thought to have come from its two crags which resemble pagan idols. It has recently been granted a protected status due to its beauty. For those looking for a fun afternoon with stunning Icelandic views, why not explore this wonderful waterfall?
