Waterfall of the Gods

Description

The name of this waterfall (Godafoss in Icelandic) suggests a more epic story then there acutally is.
It is said that after Christianity became the official religion of Iceland at around year 1000, lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði threw all his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall when he returned from his duties in the national parlament of Iceland. At least I was hoping for a more dramatic story ;)
