Dettifoss

Since Iceland is stealing the show with news of the volcanic eruption and ash cloud that is halting air traffic across northern Europe, I have chosen to highlight an Icelandic waterfall to start the week.

Dettifoss is the largest waterfall in Europe by flow rate. It is 44 meters high and 100 meters wide. The falls are located in Vatnajökull National Park on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river (don't ask me to pronounce it) and the water comes from the largest glacier in Iceland the Vatnajökull glacier.
Check out this crazy guy on the rock edge of the falls!!!
