Find a treasure in Iceland.
The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a
width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the
amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave
behind the waterfall. A local boy found the chest years later, but was
only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it
disappeared again. We may not find this treasure, but while mountain biking Iceland we'll surely find our own treasures. Want to join us in Iceland 2012? We're excited about this trip. Click here for all the details.
