Black and white photograph of Skagafoss waterfall in Iceland. Skogafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. This impressive waterfall has a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). After the drop the water levels out to a small moving wide stream of water. Glacier ice is the source of this amazing waterfall in one of the most remote countries of Europe.

Skógafoss is a waterfall situated on the Skógá River in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline.
.....
The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 15 metres (49 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again. The ring was allegedly given to the local church. The old church door ring is now in a museum, though whether it gives any credence to the folklore is debatable.
