Gullfoss and Hvítágljúfur

Gullfoss is one of Iceland's best known waterfalls. There the river Hvitá which originates in Langjökull glacier drops over two 11 and 21m high cascades into a deep gorge. Hvítágljúfur gorge is up to 70m deep and 2,5 km long.
The photos taken from the northern upper viewpoint show the 2nd cascade and the gorge.

... und der Weg ist von Herbst bis Frühling kaum zu begehen, da er von feinem Eis überzogen ist

Gudrun ^club has replied to Hubs 56 ^club

Danke vielmals, Hubs! So ist es! Der untere Weg war deswegen gesperrt, vor allem auf den Felsen, wo sonst alle rumklettern, friert das Wasser fest.

A magnificent waterfall and gorge...........which are both dramatic and beautiful to look at. The dark surroundings of the gorge makes the ice and water stand out perfectly.

You've done a fantastic job of capturing the movement and power of the water! Two fantastic images Gudrun........the PiP is my fave!

Victoria Falls are much bigger but the geological processes creating them were similar to Gullfoss.
