What waterfall is this? Spent all of last week on Iceland's south coast and saw so many amazing waterfalls, but didn't see this one.

It amazes me that i have to be sceptical of these kinds of images right now, due to having an AI brush that can imitate life so well. Fantastic photo non the less

I would love info on camera used or any enhancements//settings used. This is a beautiful contrast in colors.

Looks like the waterfall Sokka and his swordmaster visited in Avatar the Past Airbender.

They used the volcanic landscapes of Iceland as inspiration for the Fire Nation.

I've been to Iceland a few times. It doesn't feel real at all. Even just the drive from the main airport to Reykjavik is amazing. The Atlantic ocean and picturesque little houses on one side, moss covered broken lava fields and cinder cones on the other.

The hotdog shop on the harbour is excellent too.

I know this is an age-old joke, but I just want to point out that it's essentially just anglo-centric condescension. It treats words or names in other languages as Other, and as if they're not worth the time or respect to try to pronounce correctly. But every language and culture is equally valid (presuming respect for human rights), and most native speakers of any language appreciate foreigners doing their level best to speak their language or say their names correctly.

I am not suggesting that you possess any of the negative qualities connected with the joke, and I'm sure most people have just never thought about it. But it's worth considering how we can be kinder and more inclusive to others in small simple ways - such as by not joking about how their names sound.

Does being the perpetual victim feel good to you? Does it make you feel better about how you go through life? It seems like a disgusting and pitiful way to go through life, to see a self deprecating joke about someone not speaking a foreign language and turning it into some sort of imperialist attack on a language and people that you’re not even part of. I pity you.

I'm going there for the first time in May and every photo on here I see makes me note it down. But I realise I have no chance to see it all in the time we have. Still excited though.

yeah definitely. I don't see any good lines there at all, it's a death trap. If you had to make a choice, I'd say the right side of the river left channel would be your best chance, but 100% no way this goes.

I'm unaware, what does perfect lines mean?

Maybe I'm weird but I think the surrounding landscape is more beautiful than the waterfall itself. That greenish brown with a little orange in it is gorgeous

I've been there before and it still feels unbelievable when I look at pictures. I'm saving up to take my kids once they can make the climb up those stairs (it's a haul). My wife and I agreed Disney is overrated (similar price point for us) and our kids will appreciate seeing what beauty our world has to offer vs eating breakfast with some college girl cosplaying Minnie Mouse.

I’ve hiked a lot in Alaska north of the arctic circle and love that wide open tundra. Iceland looks like it has that beauty on steroids. So amazing. Planning our first backpacking trip there next summer.

One thing to note: heed the weather warnings if you’ll be driving. Iceland is wild and natural. Heavy winds and precipitation are much more dangerous for a multitude of reasons. You’ll be there during the winter. Explore, but do so safely.

Whoops, forgot the May part! I had to drive through 90 mph winds and snow to get back to the airport so just wanted to extend a warning. I most definitely should not have done it, but I survived so..idk lol. I’ll leave you alone; enjoy your trip !

I think OP meant that there was nobody in line which meant they could walk right up and enjoy the view! Perfect lines!
