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.

Diagonal

Strong sunlight cuts through the spray from a 14m/42.5ft drop, as the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river begins to bite deeper into Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.

This lovely horseshoe extends ≈ 200m/656ft from the initial plunge to the last drop from the top of the rocks and into the river.

Can confirm. Got very wet. Would do again.

Smaller Sibling

Often overlooked due to its proximity to Goðafoss, this neighbouring cascade has the same volume but is much narrower, forming an interesting chute.

The geology around it is particularly beautiful too, with basalt formations and rock arches. In winter, we've seen ptarmigan in these caves, white plumage obvious against the brown rock.

"Collapsing Waterfall"

This incredible cascade is almost guaranteed to make you feel very small if you stand at the canyon's edge. Notice the lack of huge barriers. The ground trembles slightly, and you can feel the vibration in your bones. Keeping your balance is quite difficult.

Situated on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river which flows from Vatnajökull glacier, this is Dettifoss in north-eastern #Iceland.
