Lonely Planet review for Gullfoss

Iceland's most famous waterfall tumbles 32m (105ft) into a steep-sided canyon, kicking up a sheer wall of spray. The spectacle depends on what the weather is like. On sunny days the spray creates shimmering rainbows over the gorge and Gullfoss can seem simply magical. On grey, drizzly days the falls retreat into the mist and can be slightly underwhelming.

The site was once slated for sale to international bidders for hydroelectric development, but has since been purchased by the government and set aside as a national monument.
