The Grapevine's take
Dettifoss
The most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss tumbles 193 m³/s of glacial river over its lip. Our panellists recommend visiting the nearby hexagonal basalt columns at Hljóðaklettar, and the horseshoe-shaped canyon Ásbyrgi. Test your vocals at each site to resound with the deep bass of Dettifoss or echo off the walls of Hljóðaklettar and Ásbyrgi.
