Three years ago we were on a trip to Iceland. The temperature was not too bad, much warmer than Finland/Norway but still cold and iced up. The picture is of Gullfoss half frozen. At first I wasn't too impressed because the waterfall is a multi cascade in half ice. That meant the colours were all in grey-scale except for the deep blue/turquoise colour of the water. I would say the waterfall in its entirety is too much to appreciate.
In my view this is one of those rare cases where the sum of all parts is more than the value of the total combined entity. The opposite of typical synergy. Although seeing the falls in Summer or Autumn may be a totally different experience. Next time I go the 67 400mm lens is going with because I want to capture these smaller details individually, and perhaps go earlier in Autumn before the big ice starts. Beautiful country, worth more than one or two photo trips.
I cropped out two panoramas, one from the upper falls and the second from the lower falls. I also include two enlargements of the smaller details to show the beauty hidden in these waterfalls. Both panoramas are sized for a max size print of 3.0m wide about 1.0m high. I have one wall available but will have to bring it down to 2.5m wide :-) - I suppose I need more wall space.

The first panorama crop is from the top falls where you can see the dark smoke from the volcanic vent on the right side
And an enlargement showing the details of the multiple falls, the description that comes to my mind is "angel falls". All these falls have intricate details like this. If you look at the panorama above it is the first set of falls from the right side.
The second panorama crop is from the bottom falls loaded with smaller hidden details.
And here is the enlargement of some of the details in in panorama #2.
This is the overall view of the falls from which I cropped the panoramas. Kudos to the 80-160 lens for bringing home the bacon.
At the top right you can see the dark smoke from the volcanic vent.
