Thank you all very much! You can barely drive a mile without coming across another waterfall in Iceland; they're all so different, from monster falls like this one, to thin trickles. #10300992

Gayle Johnson 8/31/2012 6:03:19 AM

Had to make this a favorite. Like Joy said, "Breathtaking!".

Thank you both! It was such an impressive falls (or "foss", as they are called in Iceland.) I wish we'd had time to walk up as close as the guy in the photo, but we were on a deadline ;) #10303073

Description

The massive wall of water that is Skógafoss in southern Iceland. The water falls about 200 feet with a powerful roar, creating a huge bank of mist.
Apparently during full flood, the wind created by the falls is strong enough to keep you from getting within 50 feet of the falls.

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D
