What Will You Do

Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir)

Our very first stop: The National Park of Thingvellir

Thingvellir is a location that presents both a historical interest and a natural interest. 

About History:

It is where the very first parliament of Europe was founded, in 930. This is where Icelandic laws were debated and voted, until the 18th century.

About Nature:

The tectonic fissure that runs through Iceland, and separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate is visible in Thingvellir. This is the only place in the world where the North Atlantic ridge is visible above sea level.

Geysir

On the site of Geysir, we can find two geysers:

The first one, called Geysir, is currently clogged and no longer erupts. It does not mean that it never will, but it is at the moment considered dormant. 

This is the one after which all geysers in the world have been named. The word "geyser" comes straight from Iceland.

The other geyser is called Strokkur, and this one is not dormant at all!

You will see it erupting every 5-10 minutes, sometimes higher than others

Gullfoss

Gullfoss is an impressive waterfall, coming from a glacial river from the glacier of Langjökull.

The name Gullfoss translates to "Golden Waterfall", some say that it is because of the color that the waterfall takes when the sun is setting, some say that it is related to the story of a grumpy farmer who threw his gold in the waterfall. Ask your guide about the story and what he thinks!

What do I need to bring?

One would think that coming to Iceland in the winter or in the summer requires bringing completely different outfits.

This is both true and untrue. Let's say that it is very unlikely to be warm in winter and unlikely to be very cold in summer.

This said: Always, always be ready for rain and wind. The weather is highly unpredictable in Iceland and is famous for turning from an one extreme to another in an instant.

What does it mean?

It means that no matter how many layers you are wearing in regards to the temperature, you should always have a windproof/rainproof jacket and pair of pants, either on you or at least with you in your backpack.
