Gullfoss

            Gullfoss, toponyme islandais signifiant littéralement en français "les chutes dorées", est une cascade d'Islande située sur la Hvítá, dans le sud-ouest du pays. D’une hauteur totale de 32 mètres et d'une largeur de 70 mètres, la chute d'eau comporte deux sauts, un premier de 11 mètres de hauteur orienté est-ouest et quelques mètres plus loin un second de 21 mètres orienté nord-sud à 90° par rapport au premier saut. La chute se situe au début de la Hvítárgljúfur, des gorges d'une longueur de 2,5 kilomètres marquant l'entrée de la Hvítá dans la plaine du sud-ouest du pays lorsque la rivière quitte les Hautes Terres. L'érosion régressive provoquée par la seconde cascade fait que ces gorges s'allongent en moyenne de 25 centimètres par an.

Gullfoss, an Icelandic toponym literally meaning "golden falls" in English, is a waterfall in Iceland located on the Hvítá River in the southwest of the country. With a total height of 32 meters and a width of 70 meters, the waterfall has two drops, the first 11 meters high and oriented east-west, and a few meters further on, a second 21 meters high and oriented north-south at 90° to the first drop. The waterfall is located at the beginning of the Hvítárgljúfur, a 2.5-kilometer-long gorge marking the entrance of the Hvítá River into the plain in the southwest of the country as the river leaves the Highlands. The headward erosion caused by the second waterfall means that these gorges are lengthening by an average of 25 centimeters per year.
