    • Gullfoss Waterfall: One of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, Gullfoss is a powerful two-tiered waterfall on the Hvítá River.
  5. Travel Tips:
    • Weather conditions can change rapidly in Iceland, so travelers should be prepared for varying road and weather conditions, especially in the winter months.
    • It’s advisable to check road conditions and weather forecasts before embarking on the journey, as some roads may be closed or challenging to navigate in certain conditions.
