Its height is only about 36 feet (11 meters), but its width is about 330 feet (100 meters), making this waterfall more like a series of waterfalls among the cliffs. On the other side are cliffs that serve as a natural viewing platform of the waterfall. Visitors should be careful as the rocks can be slippery, especially in the winter. Just slightly downstream from this impressive waterfall is another even more impressive waterfall, Dettifoss, the second most powerful waterfall in Europe.
