One of the highlights of my trip to Iceland - the power of nature is undeniable!

We visited many stunning waterfalls in Iceland and other countries, and Dettifoss did not disappoint. From what I understand, it is the most powerful waterfall in Europe, with a flow rate of up to 600 cubic meters per second. Before you even see it, you can sense its presence through the noise, spray, and rainbows. It is truly impressive, roaring forward over the wide cliffs, so be prepared to get wet. The day I visited, the spray and mist were intense, showcasing the raw power of nature. Make sure to hike to all the available viewpoints, as each offers a different perspective. But wear sturdy shoes (preferably waterproof) and bring a light jacket, as it can get cold and windy at times. Since the north coast of Iceland is still not as popular as the Reykjavik area and the south coast, attractions like Dettifoss have more visitors but are not as crowded as those in the Golden Circle.
