Golden Falls of Iceland

Though Iceland is known for many of its waterfalls, none is perhaps as beautiful as Gullfoss, located on the White River ("Hvítá"). Translated from Icelandic, its name means "Golden Falls." What makes the falls particularly stunning is that they traverse over three massive "steps," plunging onto two stages, and then down a 32 meter (105ft) deep crevice. This creates the allusion that the falls are perching above an abyss—albeit probably much better looking than you'd imagine an abyss.
