Godafoss Waterfall is nicknamed the “Waterfall of the Gods.” Some believe that the name comes from the fact that the waterfall is god-like in beauty. However, an old Icelandic legend tells the tale of the waterfall’s name through a Viking leader named Þorgeir Ljósvetningagodi.

Porgeir is said to have had  thrown his Pagan statues into the waterfall, resulting in its name. No one really knows the accurate story of the waterfall’s name but leaving it as a mystery might also play a part in keeping it mythic.

It is definately worth a visit as this is truly one of the most beautiful sights in Iceland.
