Dettifoss is a waterfall in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland, and is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe. The water comes from the nearby Vatnajökull glacier, whose sediment-rich runoff colors the water a greyish white. The superlative of "most powerful" comes from its water flow times its fall distance. The water of the wide Jökulsá á Fjöllum river falls for more than 44 metres, causing a massive, crashing spray. The Norwegian cascade Sarpefossen has a greater average water flow, but only with about half the height of Dettifoss.
Amazing to see. Water is muddy looking but the power and force you feel just looking at it is incredible and once in a lifetime.
