A little more perspective
The comparison is the principal Dettifoss drop from lip to receiving water. The one-meter source range remains explicit, and 44 meters should not be read as an exact fresh survey.
The approximately 100-meter-wide curtain belongs to Jökulsá á Fjöllum. Nearby Selfoss and Hafragilsfoss have separate drops and are excluded. The bounded basalt wall and waterfall retain their natural orientation.
