The mighty Dettifoss falls will stun you with their sheer power
Sitting on the Diamond Circle route in North Iceland, Dettifoss is a jaw-droppingly powerful set of falls that span over 100 meters (330 feet) in width. Dettifoss claims the title of most powerful waterfall in Europe, after Switzerland’s Rhine Falls.
Dettifoss is located in Vatnajökull National Park, a vast protected area that stretches all the way to Iceland’s south coast. The waterfall is one of several on the river Jökulsá á Fjöllum, which ultimately runs into the remarkable Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.
The waterfall serves as the backdrop to the opening scene of the 2012 film Prometheus, where a human-like alien falls into the watery plume.
