Description
Goðafoss is a prominent landmark in Iceland, and also an important site in the Viking Age history of Iceland, most well-known as the place where Lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, responsible for the decision to adopt Christianity at the Althing in c. 1000, cast his high seat pillars in a dramatic display of his renouncing of the pagan gods. This story is recorded in Ari Þorgilsson's Íslendingabók.
