This article needs serious work. The story about Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði throwing his idols in this waterfall is regarded as a modern myth. The earliest version of this story is from the late 19th century. Furthermore, this is only one of at least 6 waterfalls in Iceland named Goðafoss. Even the myth about Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði does not make clear which of these waterfalls is referred to. Finally, there is no reference to the myth about Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði tossing his idols in Goðafoss in Ari Þorgilsson's Íslendingabók. See for ex.
