Another wonder we were able to see many of were waterfalls! Pictured here are Brúarfoss, Öxarárfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Knervufoss, Godafoss, Dettifoss, and Glymur (can you guess what the Icelandic word for waterfall is? 😂 Some fun facts: Brúarfoss gets its beautiful bright blue color from glacial sediments carried in the melt, Öxarárfoss is located at Thingvellir and falls into a gap formed by the rift between the North American and Eurasian Plates, and Godafoss is where in about year 1000, Þorgeir Þorkelsson threw Norse pagan idols over the falls to mark the Icelandic conversion to Christianity after attending the Althingi gathering in Thingvellir.
