Dettifoss is one of the most powerful waterfalls in Europe, located in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland. It is renowned for its sheer volume of water, which cascades over a drop of 44 meters (144 feet) and spans a width of 100 meters (328 feet). The falls are fed by the glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum, which emerges from the Vatnajökull glacier. The dramatic landscape surrounding Dettifoss adds to its awe-inspiring presence, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers.
