The one of the water is Gullfoss, which means gold falls. Another interesting sight on the Golden Circle route is Pingvellir, an ancient meeting site where rules and laws were decided. There are rock formations and a creek and some pretty views.

We had a guidebook from Frommer's which was super useful and pointed us to all the best stuff. Just called Frommer's Iceland. And I have the name of that museum, but it has Icelandic characters I can't type. But it is also, "National Museum of Iceland".
