We then left Geysir, after declining to pay a huge amount of money for bad fast food, making our own sandwiches instead. We headed to Gulfoss, the largest waterfall in Iceland. As we pulled up into the car park at Gulfoss, we looked out of the window and saw the south side of the Langjökull glacier. We hadn't been expecting to see it, and seeing it bathed in sunshine (it was raining where we were) in the distance, dominating such a huge part of the horizon, was awe inspiring.
This next picture does no justice to such a beautiful sight, but it gives some impression of the scale.
