• Thingvellir National Park - Þingvellir is a remarkable site, abundant in natural splendor and historical importance for Iceland. It is located next to Þingvallavatn, the largest lake in Iceland. The Alþingi, one of the oldest parliaments globally, was founded here in 930, about a century after Iceland was settled. Each year, the assembly met for over two weeks to create laws—viewed as agreements among free men—and resolve conflicts. Þingvellir National Park covers 24,000 hectares, with 9,270 hectares recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving this rich legacy. The breathtaking landscape and profound historical ties make Þingvellir a unique destination.
• Gullfoss Waterfall - Known as the “Golden Waterfall,” Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most renowned waterfalls, highlighting nature’s immense power and beauty. It is fed by the Hvítá River, which begins at Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. The water cascades into a dramatic canyon with walls up to 70 meters (230 feet) high. On sunny days, a radiant rainbow often graces the falls.

Hvítá flows down a broad, curved three-step “staircase” before dropping in two stages—first 11 meters (36 feet) and then 21 meters (69 feet)—into a 32-meter (105-foot) deep crevice. This crevice, approximately 20 meters (66 feet) wide and 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) long, runs perpendicular to the river’s course. The average water flow is 141 cubic meters (5,000 cubic feet) per second in summer and 80 cubic meters (2,800 cubic feet) per second in winter.

• Geysir - The term “Geysir” is derived from the Icelandic verb geysa, meaning “to gush.” The Great Geysir is situated in the Haukadalur valley on the slopes of the Laugarfjall lava dome, near Strokkur, a more frequently erupting geyser located about 50 meters (160 feet) to the south.

Geysir can propel boiling water up to 60 meters (200 feet) into the air, though it erupts sporadically. Strokkur, however, erupts much more regularly—every few minutes, reaching heights of up to 35 meters (115 feet). Strokkur was first recorded in 1789 and, unlike Geysir, provides little warning before erupting. Its underground structure has been thoroughly mapped, showing a pipe-like conduit that narrows at 8 meters (26 feet), expands into a cavity at 11 meters (36 feet), and then narrows again at around 13 meters (43 feet), where temperatures near boiling.

Strokkur’s eruptions have been affected by seismic activity, though not as significantly as Geysir’s.
