Our first stop is at Þingvellir, the location of the first Icelandic parliament. The first parliament was established there in 930 AD and it is, therefore, the oldest parliament in Europe. Besides the rich history of the area you can also see the Mid-Atlantic ridge. The ridge splits the continent of Europe from North America. If you stand on the west side of the ridge you are geographically speaking in North America, and on the east side you are geographically in Europe.
After that, we stop at Geysir. This "water puddle" gives its name to all the other Geysers in the world. Strokkur, Geysir’s little brother, is still active today and it erupts every 5-8 minutes and it is truly a spectacle.
Now it is time for Gullfoss, the golden waterfall. In the summertime, up to 130.000 l/s are running down this powerful waterfall. In good weather conditions, we are also able to see Langjökull glacier as well.
