In contrast the remote "off-the-beaten-track" Ofaeru waterfall (
Ofaerufoss) in Iceland's Southern Highlands, a two tier waterfall plunging 40 metres (130 ft). The natural stone bridge spanning the falls was washed away by melting glaciers in 1993.

| 2026: Waterfalls |
High Force, County Durham. The River Tees plunges 21 metres over a vertical cliff. After heavy rain the peat laden river splits into two falls but the rock can be completely covered by water in exceptional weather.. England's most powerful waterfall in terms of volume.
Hardraw Falls, North Yorkshire plummets over a limestone lip, eroding softer rock to create an overhang. Visitors to this natural amphitheater are warned not to walk behind the veil of water because of the precarious nature of the overhang.

Another great subject! The stamps are so "refreshing"! 😄
Yes, in this heat the sight of any waterfall is refreshing!
The High Force waterfall would be nice to visit to see how it changes after rainfall. I think it is generally worth trekking to off the beaten track waterfalls, anywhere.
Lovely topic, and I've been to High Force as a youngster.
Thank you for sharing. I didn't even think of waterfalls for W.
Waterfalls is a nice topic for W. We have loads in Oregon. I don't care for the huge ones, like Niagara, they are a bit scary!
Refreshing stamps in the middle of a heatwave :)
