Kiwi kayaker takes on Iceland waterfalls - Part 2
Ben and Anton adventure through more of the Icelandic wilderness in search of more perfect waterfalls. They settle on Godafoss. Godafoss translates to ‘Waterfall of the Gods’. It got its name during early Christian times in Iceland when Norse deities were thrown into the falls in an effort to establish Christianity as the sole religion of the country. These days it is a tourist hot spot and one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. There are several lines to run on Godafoss due to its horseshoe shape and we ran it multiple times. It varies in height from 10 - 14 meters tall and no matter what time of the day you run it you will have a huge crowd of tourists cheering you on. Source: Red Bull/youtube
