Goðafoss Waterfall is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters. An interesting fact is that the history of the waterfall is connected to the conversion of Icelanders to Christianity. Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, the country’s law speaker, decided that the country’s official religion should be Christianity and threw his idols of the Old Norse religion gods into the waterfall. The Icelandic word for gods is goð, so the waterfall has been called Goðafoss ever since. This waterfall is also part of the Diamond Circle. Thanks to petusica, who took a penguin stone on her adventure, you can find one here. The penguin stone is chillin’ and looking at the waterfall.
