Helpfulness
Not in Akureyri but some 50 kilometres east you can visit the impressive Goðafoss. With a height of 12 meter not one of the highest in Iceland but it certainly is one of the prettiest. It is also closely related to the religious history of the country, hence its name.
Around the year 1000 the chieftain of Alþing (the parliament), the highly respected Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, was given the authority to solve the dilemma of the two incompatible religions. Both worshippers of Odin and of Christ lived in Iceland at that time. By throwing his own idol statues of pagan gods in this waterfall and declaring Christianity the official state religion, Þorgeir (formerly a pagan himself) saved the country from a possible civil war.
