In Summer And In Winter

In terms of height this lovely falls is relatively small, with only a gradual 6m drop, but it stretches across the mighty Þjórsá river. It's the country's most voluminous waterfall at 360m³/s even though the water volume has been diminished by ≈ 50% because of the 5 hydroelectric dams built upstream.

The same waterfall photographed from approximately the same position, but this time in winter. The road bridge is still visible, but the rocky banks are covered in icicles and the gravel banks have become icy clutter. Chunks of static ice are clogging the river but there is still clear evidence of strong water flow. The sky is overcast again, and the riverside vegetation is now brown and withered.
