Haifoss Waterfall Iceland
Haifoss means “high waterfall” is
a waterfall in Fossardalur valley innermost of Thjorsardalur
valley in South Iceland. Haifoss is Iceland 2nd highest waterfall
with a height of 122 meters. The waterfall Háifoss is situated near the volcano
Hekla in the south of Iceland. From the
historical farm Þjóðveldisbærinn Stöng, which was destroyed by a volcanic
eruption of Hekla in the Middle Ages and reconstructed, it is possible to hike
to the waterfall along the Fossá (5 to 6 hours both directions).
Well, above the
waterfall, there is also a parking lot, so the hiking can also be made in the
other direction. Moreover nearby Haifoss another waterfall which is called
Granni, meaning 'Neighbour', i.e. a neighbour to Haifoss. If you get the encyclopedic facts aside, what really made this
waterfall stand out was that it was also accompanied by an identical waterfall
often called Granni the Neighbor in an adjacent gorge. You’d be quite lucky
enough, if both waterfalls at their full flow. The Haifoss falls is hauntingly
attractive desolate landscape of the Icelandic highlands.
Perhaps
you’ve to required physical exertion, as the road is pretty bumpy one, which
can damage your car transmission and tires. The car parking is quite easy here;
you just need to go downhill for super view of Haifoss, and Granni. It there’s
rain then you’ve a chance of splendid rainbows making your trip memorable. Many
tourists spent time here by taking photograph and chilling out there. Both
waterfalls were on segments of the Fossá River, and the views of the both
waterfalls were from the top of a deep chasm, you’ve to be careful not to get
too close to the edges of the unstable cliffs. Source: Charismatic Planet

Epupa Falls close to the nearby village of Epupa, it is one of Namibia’s five
perennial rivers.. The gorgeous Epupa Falls also recognized

difficulties, the falls is a major tourist attraction in Namibia. The
surrounding area of falls is unspoiled with lovely fig trees, baobabs, makalani
palms and coloured rock walls framing the falls.

Tasman Glacier Terminal Lake is a Fascinating Glacial Encounter
Tasman Lake is a proglacial lake created
by the current retreat of the Tasman Glacier in New Zealand's South Island. In
the early 1970s, there were ample small melt water ponds on the Tasman Glacier.
By the end of 1990, these ponds had merged into beautiful Tasman Lake. Tasman
Lake has quickened the retreat of the Tasman Glacier. Initially it did so by
undercutting the cliff at the end of the glacier, causing parts of the cliff to
fall into the lake. Now, however, a 50to 60 m apron of submerged glacial ice projects
out from the cliff and icebergs periodically break off the apron and float away
down the lake. Because more of the glacier is now in contact with the water,
its rate of retreat has increased. By 2008 the lake was seven km long, two km
wide and 245m deep. It is anticipated to grow to a maximum length of about 16
km within the next one or two decades.
Indeed New Zealand's Tasman
Glacier terminal lake for a fascinating glacial encounter. Cruise the speedily
growing terminal lake taking in remarkable mountain views and scenery. Because Icebergs of every shape and size
periodically tear away from the glacier allowing you to touch and taste the
300-500 year old glacial crystals. In fact Tasman Glacier Heli Hiking combines
the enthusiasm of walking on the mighty Tasman Glacier along with two exciting
helicopter flights. Flying onto the glacier permits you to experience the
glacier's white ice and remarkable ice formations. Moreover during the winter
months you can also ski the Tasman Glacier with Charlie Hobbs and his guides or
the team at Ski the Tasman. You don't need to be a skilled skier to relish New
Zealand's longest ski runs; the Tasman Glacier is ideal for intermediate and
advanced skiers.
Tasman Lake, the glacier and the
surrounding mountains are part of Mount Cook National Park. When you visit the
place you can take a boat tour among the icebergs on the Tasman Lake is now a
popular tourist spot. Like several other geographic places in both New Zealand
and Australia, it is named after Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman.
