Dettifoss photo spot

It flowed on the glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum (“YUK-ul-sou ow FYUHT-lum”), which came from the melting Vatnajökull Glacier. The river meandered through Iceland's version of the Grand Canyon called Jökulsárgljúfur (“YUK-ul-sour-glyoo-fur”), which literally means “glacial river canyon”. And to back up our adjectives, we’ve learned that this falls was said to have a mean flow of nearly 200 cubic meters per second (typically 400-500 cubic meters per second in late Summer), with dimensions of 44m tall and 100m wide. It is quite possibly Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall (let alone Iceland’s biggest).
