▲ Leave the city and head to Iceland's famous sightseeing route, the Golden Circle. The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, one of the world's most remarkable natural wonders. Here, you can witness firsthand the drifting results of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This site also holds significant cultural and historical importance as the location where Iceland's Althing (national assembly) was established in 930 AD.
▲ Next, we will explore a hidden gem in the Golden Circle, the Tiffany Blue Waterfall. The sapphire-like waterfall contrasts strikingly with the dark lava and the surrounding green moss, creating a surreal landscape that attracts many nature lovers and professional photographers.
▲ Visit the Great Geysir Geothermal Area, home to many powerful geothermal springs including Strokkur, which erupts intermittently with water columns reaching up to 35 meters high. This is also the origin of the geographical term "geyser."
▲ Next, head to Gullfoss (Golden Falls), where meltwater from Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull, plunges into a deep canyon, creating the magnificent "Golden Falls". On clear days, you can see the distant Langjökull glacier, admire rainbows in the waterfall's mist, and capture breathtaking photos!
▲ The final stop will take you to Kerið Crater, one of Iceland's famous three major craters with a history of 6,500 years. Known for its striking color contrasts, you can stroll along the crater rim and admire the surreal view created by the red volcanic rocks and the turquoise-blue lake waters.
