| | 2010 Links: | The Year 2010 (wikipedia) | | The year 2010 at TimeAndDate.com | | Gullfoss Links: | Gullfoss Wikipedia | | from site: Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. The wide Hvítá rushes southward. About a kilometer above the falls it turns sharply to the left and flows down into a wide curved three-step staircase and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 m (60 ft) wide, and 2.5 km in length, is at right angles to the flow of the river.
| | | Gulloss.org | | from site: Glacial water is brownish, since it carries lots of sediments that the glacial ice has carved off the earth. Gullfoss is called the Golden Falls, since on a sunny day the water plunging down the three step staircase and then tumbeling in two steps down into the 32 m deep crevice truly looks golden.
| | | World of Waterfalls - Gullfoss (Haukadalur, Southwest, Iceland) | | from site: This spectacular two-tiered waterfall (with each tier dropping at right angles to each other) drops a total of 32m while spanning the entire width of the Hvítá River. The upper tier drops about 11m while the lower tier drops 21m.
