Golden Circle

Iceland's biggest natural attractions

Pingvellir National Park, view over lake Pingvallavatn, Iceland's largest natural lake, the place where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurosia split and drift apart. An UNESCO world heritage site important in terms of history, culture and geology. Mossy expanses and deep fissures.

Gullfoss waterfall, two-tiered, glacial meltwater cascades down into the deep and narrow Hvitargljufur canyon. It drops a whopping 32 metres and creates quite a lot of spray that forms beautiful rainbows during sunny days

Geysir geothermal area, hissing steam vents and sulphurous mud pots. The Strokkur hot spring, the world's most reliable geyser, shooting hot water 20 metres into the air every 4-8 minutes

Kerio, volcanic crater formed when a large magma chamber collapsed
