Iceland Golden Circle Tour

The circle tour highlights farms greenhouses and geology. Loads of lichen moss and berries.
The Vikings used up the natural forests in 1500s and no reforestation took place for hundreds of years as it takes over 500 years for trees to grow in this climate. This caused greater isolation for Icelanders with no resources to trade. They were under Norway..then the Danish until 1944 when they got their own independence
Our tour moved on to the National park a Unesco heritage site. It is a holy place...known for history and geology and separation of tectonic plates. Everything has to be built to stand 7 on the Richter scale.
Lunch was included at the Geyser National park site..amazing lunch loads of fish dishes interesting salads and full hot buffet selections..wonderful! Andrew and Socheata would love it.
The geysers are spectacular shooting up 100 ft every few minutes from 3000 feet down. The water is 100C crazy hot! Getting an instant photo a fun challenge. After lunch we followed the circle route to the water fall..it looks like Niagara Falls....water everywhere is crystal clear..you can see down 30 ft or moreLäs mer
