All You Want to Know About The Golden Circle

Regardless of the season, every Iceland travel
company will take you to the Golden Circle of
Iceland. Anyone talking about excursions in
Iceland will mention, at least once, the Golden
Circle which includes three different spots.
However, what most people miss out are two
additional locations which lie within the circuit
of the Golden Circle. Only if you book a tour
with one of the well-known travel organizations
in Iceland, you will get to see those places. The
Golden Circle encompasses some unique sites which
are famous in every part of the world. Whats
more interesting is that you can complete the
trip in one day.

The Thingvellir national park The Grand Golden
Circle day trip which you booked from Go to joy
Iceland will start with the Thingvellir national
park. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and for
several good reasons. Firstly, it is a geological
wonder because it lies on the intersection of the
Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
Secondly, the worlds first parliament building
still lies here where the first meeting took
place in 930 AD and continued almost till 1800.

The Geysir Geysir is the Iceland word for
geyser, and it is the second stop in the Grand
Golden Circle day trip. The Geysir is a perfect
example of erupting hot water springs, but
unfortunately, the Geysir is now dormant. Not to
worry, because now, the Geysirs younger brother
Strokkur erupts with equal vigor. The event
occurs in every few minutes where a jet stream of
water reaches an average of fifteen to twenty
meters in the air.

The Gullfoss Waterfalls The third spot is the
most famous waterfall in Iceland, which is the
Gullfoss. Surprisingly, it is the second most
powerful waterfall in the entire European
continent. The water disappears into the earth
after dropping down in two different stages where
the first is about eleven meters and the second
is slightly more than twenty meters.
6
The Faxi Waterfalls The fourth stop is the Faxi
Waterfalls which is one of the spots which other
travel organizations dont include in a golden
circle package. The height of this waterfall is
unimpressive, but its width is what attracts the
attention of every sightseer. The breadth of the
waterfall is almost eighty meters, and the origin
of this waterfall is the river Tungufljot, which
is full of salmon fishes.
7
The Kerid The last spot in the trip is the
Kerid which is a volcanic crater. It doesnt look
like a profoundly violent outlet of lava beacause
it is shockingly colorful. It lies in the
southern sections of the nation with other
volcanic zones like the Reykjanes peninsula and
the Langjokull glacier. The Kerid comprises of
red volcanic rock unlike other calderas, and it
is full of green plant outgrowths and a small
patch of blue water in the center.

It will come true All dreams dont come true but
this one will if you book a tour with the travel
agency as soon as possible. Iceland is one of the
most favorite destinations for travel enthusiasts
and more and more people are frequenting the
nation. This rapid surge in tourism is a boon for
the country but is also a curse since it is a
small country and doesnt have a lot of
accommodation facilities. If you walk down the
streets of Reykjavik, you will come across
numerous under-construction hotels which clearly
states that Iceland is extremely busy catering to
its visitors. So, to avoid any hassles regarding
finding the right accommodation, you will be wise
to book your trip as early as possible.
