Gullfoss, Europe’s largest waterfall, is a common stop for tourists along the famed Golden Circle in Gullfoss, Iceland. Veit told her family about her biggest catch — a six-pound brown trout, her sister, Patrice Veit, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. But their trip turned tragic Sunday when one of them was swept into an Icelandic lake not too far from Reykjavik — and the other tried to help. “In a world of wonderful people, Janet and Brian were pretty near the top,” Veit's sister wrote on Facebook. Their bodies are being flown home to Minnesota for the funerals, according to the Star Tribune.
