Today we discover the most well-known natural sites of Iceland, connected by the Golden Circle route. We visit the largest lake in Iceland, Thingvallavatn, and the Thingvellir National Park. This national park is the oldest national park in Iceland and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for both natural and cultural importance. This is the only place in the world where The North-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface, so you can see its composition. Here was also in 930 AD established Althing, the world’s oldest parliament still in operation.

In the Geysir area, you can see Strokkur, a 20-meter geyser, erupt every few minutes. The best view of the geysers is from the nearby hill with new walking trails, from which you can also see the surrounding landscape. The big Geysir, which gave name to all geysers in the world, is unfortunately not active anymore.

Waterfall Gullfoss is famous for its two cascades, perpendicular to each other. The glacier river Hvítá runs from Langjökull glacier, which you can see from the waterfall on days with good visibility. And on sunny days, a shimmering rainbow can be seen over the waterfall.

A journey along Iceland’s South Coast promises an unforgettable day of natural wonders and unique experiences. Begin with a visit to the breathtaking waterfalls: marvel at Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind the shimmering cascade, and discover the hidden beauty of Gljúfrabúi, tucked away within a mossy canyon.

Next, head to Skógafoss, where the thundering 60-meter drop and misty rainbows provide a sense of awe, followed by the serene Kvernufoss, a peaceful retreat offering a quieter, yet equally enchanting walk behind the falls.
As the day progresses, make your way to the famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its volcanic sands, towering basalt columns, and the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the Atlantic Ocean. Take in the raw power of the waves and the striking contrast between the dark sands and the white-crested surf.

Today we explore Vatnajökull National Park, one of the biggest national parks with the largest glacier in Europe.

We admire the famous Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, located in the southeastern part of Vatnajökull National Park, the largest national park in Europe.

The Lagoon flows through a short waterway into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving chunks of ice on a black sand beach. Nearby is a beach named Diamond Beach because the ice often glistens like diamonds in the sunlight. With a bit of luck, there will be icebergs offshore on the beach during your visit!

Skaftafell was declared a national park in 1967, now being a part of the Vatnajökull National Park, Skaftafell still serves as a gateway to the National park. Natural beauty, favorable weather conditions, and a selection of hiking trails make Skaftafell an ideal destination for those who like to enjoy outdoor activities in Icelandic nature. There's a trail for everyone at every skill level.

Skaftafell is also a center for education and research. The ranger’s office offers guided educational tours to teach those who are interested, about the environmental effects of global warming. The glacier and nature research is also conducted from Skaftafell.

Reykjanes is a peninsula in South West Iceland, characterised by immense lava fields, volcanoes and heightened geothermal activity.

The Reykjanes Peninsula runs along the Mid-Atlantic Rift, where the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates are drifting apart. Due to this geological setting, the whole peninsula is extremely volcanically active, covered with lava fields, and eruptions and earthquakes are very common here.

During the Middle Ages, many eruptions occurred in Reykjanes, no eruptions had been recorded here for the last 500 years until last year! Geologists believe that we are currently in a volcanic active period.

The main geothermal areas of Reykjanes, however, are Gunnuhver, Krýsuvik and Svartsengi. Various mud pools and fumaroles can be seen at Gunnuhver, while Krýsuvik is characterised by hot springs and mud pots that bestow multicoloured hues upon the soil.

Reykjanes' cliffs are teeming with birdlife. Its best-known bird colony resides
in Krýsuvikurbjarg which is the nesting place of approximately eighty thousand seabirds. While puffins are not found here, it is an excellent place to spot cormorants, fulmar, and other such species.

North of Krýsuvíkurbjarg is the aforementioned Kleifarvatn, the largest lake on the peninsula and one of the deepest in Iceland. On the centre of the peninsula is lake Djúpavatn, a popular fishing destination.

The first eruption in Fagradal started in March 2021 after a week of earthquakes and the lava was spreading for several months. It is amazing to see this lava field, which is one of the newest landmasses. The hike includes some steep parts and a walk on uneven rough terrain, and it is considered a challenging route. It is rewarding to get to Littli Hrútur Peak for the best views!

The Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa, is one of Iceland’s most unique and popular attractions.

The lagoon is rich in a unique combination of natural minerals which gives the lagoon its soft, milky aquamarine colour. Enjoying a bath in the warm water of the lagoon, surrounded by black lava is just the perfect way to relax.

After a memorable journey in the land of Ice and fire, it is time to go home.
