Dettifoss

Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, roars through Iceland’s Vatnajökull National Park with a glacial fury of 200 cubic meters/second. Plummeting 45 meters into the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon, its gray-brown torrents—fed by Vatnajökull ice cap—carve into volcanic rock, creating a raw, mist-shrouded spectacle. Featured in *Prometheus* (2012), its untamed force contrasts with nearby serene waterfalls like Selfoss. A testament to Iceland’s volcanic energy, Dettifoss remains nature’s uncompromising show of power.
