Day 3
After breakfast we’ve arranged a classic excursion to the "Golden Circle" to see many of Iceland’s natural wonders. First stop, Hveragerdi where harnessed geothermal power has permitted a greenhouse industry. Then it’s on to the picturesque Kerid, a lake-filled extinct volcanic crater, before continuing to Skálholt, for centuries Iceland's main cultural center. The amazing Gullfoss (the Golden Waterfall) provides a perfect final stop before lunch. After your lunch stop (not inc.) you'll explore the world-famous, fascinating Geysir area, where hot springs and other geothermal phenomena abound before heading on to the Pingvellir Nationall Park. Situated in a rift-valley this splendidly scenic place is of tremendous geological interest. On your return to Reykjavik you’ll journey over the Mosfellsheidi heath. |
