Goðafoss Waterfall
Iconic horseshoe shaped waterfall with turquoise water crashing on the rocks, easy to reach. You can photograph from both sides, and on the left side when you’re standing in front you can go down for a little more overview. Definitely one of best waterfalls of Iceland and the water spray showed the power 😅.
