Introduction:

Þingvellir

anglicised as Thingvellir, is a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km northeast of Iceland's capital, ReykjavíkÞingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

Þingvellir is associated with the Althing, the national parliament of Iceland, which was established at the site in 930 AD. Sessions were held at the location until 1798.

Þingvellir National Park (þjóðgarðurinn á Þingvöllum) was founded in 1930, marking the 1000th anniversary of the Althing. The park was later expanded to protect the diverse and natural phenomena in the surrounding area, and was designated as a World Heritage Site in 2004.

pingvellir,the tour continues through an area of beautiful scenery towards two of iceland's greatest natural attraction at Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot spring area.At Gullfoss waterfall you can take a short walk down a pathway and get right up close to this powerful waterfall and fell the mist of glacial water on your face as it cascades down into the narrow Hvitargljufur Canyon.

 

Returning from Gullfoss,Next stop is the Geysir hot spring area where you'll get to walk adidst hissing steam vents ,sulfurous mud pots and get up close to one of the world's most reliable fountain geyser,Strokkur hot spring,that every 4 to 8 minutes blasts out a column of super heated water up to 20 metres into the air .From Geysir hot spring area.the return journey takes you past lakes laugarvatn into the air.From Geysir hot spring area,the return jjourney takesyou past lakes laugarvatn and Apavatn on the way back to Reykjavik where you'll have a break for a few hours before joining the Northern Lights tour.

 

Seeing the northern lights weaving their way across the night sky is a captivating experience.The second part of the tour takes you out of Reykjavik city to the best places to see Northern lights swirling across the night sky in their fantastic shapes and colours. Operating Northern lights tours in iceland for over 15 yeras has taught us a thing or two about this elusive phenomenon and how to decide where each trip should lead for best possibilities and viewing conditions.
