Thingvellir National Park
Our first stop will be Thingvellir, a national park recognized by UNESCO. From the park, we marveled at the breathtaking expanse of Þingvallavatn, the largest lake in the country. Walking amidst the park, we traversed the remarkable boundary between the European and American continental plates. We also witnessed the historic gathering place of the Althing, the world's oldest parliament, and gazed into Silfra, a symbolic fissure renowned for its crystal-clear waters, drawing divers from all around.

Geysir
Next, we ventured into the Valley of Geysers, where we unraveled the etymology of the word "Geysir," which christened all such geothermal marvels. The highlight was Strokkur, Iceland's tallest geyser, erupting every few minutes with impressive force, sending water spurting up to 30 meters into the sky. The vibrant hues of mineral deposits on the ground and the smoky valley combined to create an otherworldly ambiance.
