Iceland

First experience was the golden circle which is a route that includes three stops.  First stop is the  Pingvellir national park which is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. It is a valley laying  between the North-American and Eurasian continental plates. The lava fields at pingvellir are pushed apart by tectonic forces, leaving  many gorges and fissures.  Second stop is the   Gullfoss fall , which is the most famous waterfall in Iceland.  Third stop , the geysers . Some of them small others bigger. The Strokkur geyser specifically  is quite big and erupts every few  minutes up to 15 meters high . Overall it is a magical experience!

Golden Circle Iceland

A day drip to the Jokulsarlon lagoon and Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is a must! Breiðamerkurjökull is a glacier and an active volcano and you can book a trip to go on it. A big vehicle will pick you up , go up on the glacier and from there you can enjoy the view  and also explore the ice caves. I have never seen anything more magical in my life! Jokulsarlon lagoon is a lake that  is full of icebergs and it progressively gets bigger because of the melting of the glaciers. It has also been a setting for some movies .
