Goðafoss

The Skjálfandafljót river spills over a curved ledge in North Iceland.

Different views from each bank

Close to Route 1, Goðafoss spreads across a broad curved ledge. Viewpoints on the two banks offer different angles, while flow and season change its appearance.

Winter paths may be icy. Check roads and weather, follow permitted paths and avoid exposed, slippery edges.
