| The Golden Circle is a popular touring route located in the southern part of Iceland covering around 300 kms ( 190 miles ) |
 |
| You might think Iceland is barren but nature always finds a way |
 |
| Inside Thingvellir National Park |
 |
| The Gullfoss Waterfalls ( Golden Falls ) |
 |
| The park became a World Heritage Site in 2004 |
 |
| Water falls into a crevice that is 32 meters deep ( 105 feet ) |
 |
| Thingvellir became a National Park in 1928 |
 |
| Geysir does not erupt very often anymore but below Strokkur spouts every 5 to 10 minutes |
 |
| Yes geysers are hot.......had to remind a stupid tourist with his selfie stick who was standing over the opening lol |
 |
| Haukadalur is the name of the valley where all this geothermal activity is |
 |
| I am thinking the sulfur in the air ( very noticeable ) has changed the color of this birch tree |
 |
| Back on the road to see more awesomeness of Iceland |
 |
| Iceland has 5 major geothermal plants which meets the heating and hot water needs of approximately 85% of all buildings |
