Organ Pipes

Early March, an accumulation of massive icicles bathed by spray and covered in snow.

A heavy snowstorm has just passed, and Gullfoss - the "Golden Falls" - is heavily iced. Fed by Langjökull glacier, Hvítá - "White River" - plunges 11 metres (36 ft) over rocks to a central platform area before dropping another 21m (69ft) into a chasm.
This structure was on the eastern bank of the top cascade.

Lovely as always... your text mentioned Gullfoss as Golden Falls, and I was struck with the similarity to the north England term Force for a waterfall, as in Aira Force by Ullswater. I see from its Wikipedia article that Force derives from the Old Norse fors, so I guess it IS the same word!
