Super Jeep Tour to Golden Circle

Nationaal parkÞingvellir

We  visit the place where the two tectonic plates, the North American and  the Eurasian plate, are moving away from each other. Few places in the  world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic  activity. The biggest natural lake in Iceland is also located at  Thingvellir National Park and hosts a great variety of fish and bird  life. Thingvellir is also an important place for Icelandic national  history. At Thingvellir Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 a.d.  where the chieftains had their annual meeting every summer. The name  “Thingvellir” translates to “Parliament Plains”.

Geothermisch gebied van Geysir

The  Geysir geothermal area hosts hundreds of colorful hot springs and two  geysers, erupting hot springs. One is called “Geysir” and name giving  for all the geysers in the world. Today, however, it erupts very seldom.  The other geyser is called “Strokkur” and erupts every 5 minutes up to  40 meters.

Gullfoss-waterval

The  melting water from Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull, falls  into a deep canyon forming the majestic “Golden Falls”. On a sunny day,  you can see the glacier Langjökull in the distance and enjoy a rainbow  in the mist of the waterfall, an Instagram blockbuster waiting to  happen!
