Dettifoss

#EuropeGuide Europe's Most Powerful: The Magnificence and Desolate Setting of Dettifoss #EuropeGuide If you're planning a trip to Northern Iceland, Dettifoss is a must-see attraction. This waterfall holds the title of Europe's most powerful waterfall due to its immense flow. Approximately 100 meters wide and 45 meters high, the earthy waters of glacial water and sediment cascade down the gorge with a roaring roar, awe-inspiring. Surrounded by basalt rock and barren plateaus, the surrounding landscape creates a surreal, lunar- or Martian-like atmosphere. Famously featured in the opening scene of the film Prometheus, Dettifoss retains a wild, untouched beauty. The massive mist created by the falls can be seen from kilometers away, and the closer you get, the more you feel the force of the cascade. #EuropeGuideTourTip: This is a more 'grand and powerful' experience than a beautiful one, so brace yourself and be prepared to feel the overwhelming power of nature on a whole other level than the waterfalls in Norway.
