Dettifoss

Next stop was Dettifoss, the largest waterfall in Europe, by volume. The landscape was bizarre...the water was very muddy due to all of the silt coming off the glacier. The road to Dettifoss is apparently famous for being bad...it was a long drive on a surreal gravel road through lava fields and moss.


The spray from the waterfall is so intense, that the mist hits the other side of the canyon and forms bunches of little tiny waterfalls. The left side of the waterfall is just rocky and barren, but the opposite side of the waterfall is lush with grass because there's constantly mist watering the ground.


The midges were pretty bad here too. Whoops.
