The GCW Tour, the Frozen Cruise: Godafoss

The first stop on our Akureyri excursion was Godafoss, roughly "waterfall of the gods." A thousand years ago, give or take a few, the Icelanders decided that they'd all get along better if they all followed the same religion. Thus, they drew straws (or something like that), Christianity won, and so the Norse gods were tossed in favor of the Christian solo act.

And when I say "tossed," I mean that literally. All of the statues and whatnot representing the various forsaken gods were taken to Godafoss and thrown over the falls. 

Sadly, but unsurprisingly, it didn't really work. The ancient Icelanders continued to kill one another, despite the shared religion. 

But it makes for a good story for the tourists coming to see the falls...
