Measured by water volume, Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfall in Europe and one of the most significant natural attractions in northeastern Iceland. Nestled within the spectacular landscape of Vatnajökull National Park, this waterfall impressively demonstrates the power of nature – with a roar and a cloud of spray that can be heard and seen for miles.
