Godafoss 上帝瀑布

The Goðafoss is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. It is located in the Bárðardalur district of North-Central Iceland at the beginning of the Sprengisandur highland road. The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.

In the year 999 or 1000 the Lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland. After his conversion it is said that upon returning from the Alþingi, Þorgeir threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall. Þorgeir's story is preserved in Ari Þorgilsson's Íslendingabók.

上帝瀑布(Godafoss)是冰岛的一座非常壮观迷人的弧形的自然瀑布，也被称作“神之瀑布”、“众神瀑布”，地处冰岛中北部地区，高12米宽30米。
传说公元999或者1000年的时候，冰岛皈依基督教时，北欧众神雕像被遗弃在这里，故而得名。瀑布的水声震耳欲聋，就仿佛众神在耳边咆哮。夏季这里长满苔藓，绿草茵茵，冬季则一片冰封，唯有瀑布依旧川流不息。
