On a sunny day it is common to the waterfall bathed in a vivid rainbow.<\/p> <p>In Iceland there are many myths and legends, and one of these involves Sk\u00f3gafoss. It is believed that many years ago, a settler named \u00derasi buried his treasure chest full of gold under the waterfall.

There is a small and beautiful lagoon in front of the glacier.<\/p> <p>Sadly, like most Icelandic glaciers, S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull is rapidly receding. The glacier has retreated about a kilometer over the last decade and it is possible that it may disappear totally within the next few decades.<\/p> <p>The river J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 runs from S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull filled with glacial meltwater, which is rich with smelly sulphuric acid from the subglacial areas.
