How would you like to see millions of gallons of water tumble over a 105 foot cliff into the canyon? That is what Iceland’s most famous waterfall has to offer. The wall of spray that rises from the water hitting the ground creates a shimmering rainbow on sunny days making the scenery even more impressive to look at.
5.Glacial trek.
