Gullfoss Waterfall Gullfoss (translated to “Golden Falls”) has been listed as one of the top 10 waterfalls in the world. Found in the Hvítá river canyon in southwest Iceland, this thundering waterfall pummels glacial water flowing more than 100 feet in two stages down a rugged canyon. The epic power of this waterfall is illustrated by its highest flood flow rate ever measured at an astounding 2,000 cubic meters per second.

Geysir Hot Springs A favorite stop along the Golden Circle is the highly active Geysir Hot Springs Area with its boiling mud pits and exploding geysers that spout water 100 feet into the air every few minutes. Geological studies reveal that the formation of these Geysers go back to the Ice Age. The newly opened Geysir Center offers exhibits and informative presentations year round.

Thingvellir National Park A UNESCO World Heritage Site at the crux of two separating tectonic plates is also the location of the world’s oldest ongoing parliament, dating back to the 10th century AD. This area contains interesting landscapes and has an outstanding significance both historically and geologically.
