1 Kerið Volcanic CraterKerið, a volcanic crater located on the Golden Circle Route, is an ancient geological marvel that dates back 6500 years, the remant of a massive eruption. This remarkable crater boasts a flawless conical shape adorned with striking maroon volcanic rock and dark sediment stripes, making it a popular destination for visitors. The focal point of Kerið is the serene blue lake nestled at the bottom of the crater.
Well-maintained paved pathways offer opportunities for up-close exploration. You can opt to stroll around the crater’s rim to enjoy the panoramic vistas or descend along the path to the crater’s base for and the crater lake. The crater’s shape shape is a result of the collapse of the magma chamber onto itself following the depletion of lava during its eruption
2 Gullfoss WaterfallGullfoss is perhaps Iceland’s most famous waterfall, aptly named the “Golden Falls.” This astonishing waterfall showcases a broad cascade that descends in two stages, first plummeting 11 meters (36 ft) and then another 21 meters (69 ft), creating a tumultuous spectacle as it flows into the canyon and sends up a colossal misty veil. Even from a distance, the power of the waterfall is palpable.
Visitors have the option to explore the upper and lower levels via walking paths, allowing them to appreciate the surging power from various vantage points and perspectives. The overwhlming surge of water falling at Gullfoss originates from Hvítá, the White River, sourced from Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier.
3 GeysirIcelandic infrastructure, culture and natural landscapes are heavily influenced by the abundent geothermal waters found throughout much of the country. Geysir is a prime illustration of this natural phenomenon. As you set foot on the walking path, your senses are awakened by the unmistakable sulfuric scent, bubbling mud pools, and a landscape dotted with enigmatic steam vents and dynamic, gushing hot springs.
The star attraction here is Strokkur Geyser, which erupts at intervals of 5 to 10 minutes, shooting up to 20 meters into the sky. The nearby Great Geysir used to be active until its underground conduit became obstructed. It now presents a tranquil expanse of blue water, offering a serene contrast to the dynamic Strokkur. It’s worth noting that the term “geyser” in the English language was inspired by the Great Geysir.
Nearby, you’ll find a visitor center that offers delightful dining options and an excellent selection of souvenirs.
4 Thingvellir National ParkMoving on to Thingvellir National Park, this unique site holds immense cultural and geological significance. In 930 AD, it served as the location for Alþing, Iceland’s parliament, founded by the Vikings and considered the world’s longest continuing assembly.
In 2004, Thingvellir was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See the rift valley situated on the divergent boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. This splitting point is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and its only visible portion on land can be found in Iceland, with the rest submerged beneath the ocean. Öxaráfoss waterfall gracefully cuts through the walking path, adding to the park’s natural beauty.
Almannagjá, the largest fissure in Thingvellir National Park, serves as a guide along the path of the Vikings, leading to the historic parliamentary site and culminating at the panoramic viewpoint of Hakið.
5 Hvammsvík Hot-Spring LagoonSoak up the view while soaking your weary bones! Our next stop is the perfect way to replenish yourself after a day of exploreation and adventure.
