Blue Lagoon
A lake of warm mineral rich geothermal water, the Blue Lagoon is internationally renowned for its healing prowess. Water is heated by underground volcanic activity at a depth of 5,400 feet and is pumped to the surface to form this man-made wonder.

The Golden Circle
The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in South Iceland, covering about 300 km looping from Reykjav�k into central Iceland and back.

Gullfoss-The Golden Waterfall
In a land of Earthly beauty, one natural wonder stands above the rest, Iceland�s beloved Gullfoss, or �Golden Falls.� With a 105-foot double-cascade, Gullfoss is by far Europe�s most powerful waterfall. On a sunlit day, the mist clouds surrounding the hammering falls are filled with dozens of rainbows, providing an unparalleled spectacle of color and motion.

Gooafoss Watefall
The Go�afoss is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. The water of the river falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.

Geysir-The Great Geyser
It is hard to find the right words for the Great Geyser: a spectacular water fountain, a hot water source, spouting to the heavens.

Thingvellir National Park
One of the most beautiful places in Iceland, Thingvellir National Park is also central to the nation's history. One of the few spots in the world where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes above water, Thingvellir is an enormous geologic rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

Akureyri
At first sight, Iceland's second largest city, and "Capital" and cultural center of the North, appears like it was transplanted from the Swiss Alps. It sits on the southwestern shores of the North Coast's Eyjafjordur Fjord, one of the most breathtaking fjords in all of Iceland. Rising up immediately behind the city are azure farmlands that slope gently up to granite mountains.

Lake Myvatn
Bubbling mud flats, Iunaresque volcanic craters, newborn lava fields, and grassy shoals teeming with waterfowl; these are some of the sights of the striking Lake Myvatn region, one of the most geologically active and stunningly beautiful areas in Iceland. The heavy volcanic activity in the region during the last few thousand years accounts for its extraordinary land formations and geology. US astronauts trained in the vicinity of Lake Myvatn in preparation for walking on the moon. Visit Namaskard with its steam jets and boiling sulphur pits and mud pools and see the Gooafoss Waterfall, the name means "waterfall of the gods," though one may think the name derives from the beauty and immensity of this waterfall, it actually dates back to about the year 1000.
