On our first full day in Iceland, we chose to tour the Golden Circle, which is one of the most popular tours. Icelandic landscape is fascinating, so the senses are constantly entertained. We used Extreme Iceland for two days.
Walking along the fault line where tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia meet in Thingvellir National Park.
Standing in awe of the view.
Witnessing the fury of Gullfoss, a spectacular and very large waterfall.
Patiently waiting for Strokkur Geysir to do its thing.
Enjoying a dip in a thermal pool known as Fludir: the Secret Lagoon.
Hiking up to and around Kerid’s rim, an extinct volcano.
Seeing more wonderful landscape.
All in one day … so our first full day in Iceland was wonderful. Here’s a 2-minute video featuring some of the Golden Circle sights.
