Iceland's natural Crown Jewels
Hvalfjörður, also known as Whale Fjord, is a long and scenic fjord located in the west of Iceland. It is renowned for its striking beauty, surrounded by towering mountains and lush valleys. Hvalfjörður is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, and enjoying Iceland's rugged landscapes. The fjord is also notable for its historical significance, as it was the site of a major naval base during World War II. Today, it is a peaceful and tranquil area that provides a glimpse into Iceland's natural and historical heritage.
Golden Circle encompasses many of Iceland's most famous landmarks.
Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the location of the world's first parliament; Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall.
At Thingvellir National Park history and nature meets. This is the only place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface and forms a rift valley between tectonic plates. Filled in the fissure created by the separation of the plates is glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility.
The history was made at Thingvellir when in 930AD was formed Althing, the oldest parliament still in operation. Therefore Thingvellir is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage for both, natural and cultural importance.
At Geysir geothermal area Strokkur, "the butter churn”, erupts about every 4-8 minutes. The big Geyser, which gave name to all other geysers, has been in recent years inactive.
Gullfoss is an iconic waterfall located in South Iceland on the Hvítá River which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. On a sunny day shimmering rainbow, can be seen over the falls.

An active volcano system under the surface!
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.
One of the Wonders of the World
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.
