Gullfoss is the largest waterfall in Europe. The vast Hvtá river, which flows from Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, feeds Gullfoss. It is made up of two tiers of falls that stand together at a total height of 105 feet (32 m). The top tier falls are 36 feet tall, while the lower tier falls are 69 feet tall. During the summer, the average water flow is roughly 49,441 ft3/s, whereas during the winter, it is only 2,825 ft3/s.
